I didn't really keep up with movies this year, were any female directors actually snubbed? Or did they just make some good movies and were also women

pm_me_your_taintt · 2020-02-12T19:09:43+00:00

How about just nominating the best directors, regardless of gender? Why the fuck does it matter what's between your legs?

No, YOU need to.

akafamilyfunny · 2020-02-12T19:45:46+00:00

The lapse in logic here is that there are a lot of female directors not nominated every year. There’s also not a lot of male directors nominated either. Hundreds near thousands of films are made every year. Some great, some bad. And there’s a lot of talent made by all sorts of people who don’t and won’t ever get recognized for their work. There’s FIVE directors nominated every year out of literally ENDLESS options. A lot of people are never gonna walk up that stage.

Right now, I’m just concerned if Glenn Close is ever gonna win. She deserved one a long time ago for Fatal Attraction.

Isn't it possible that there wasn't enough ADEQUATE female directors? I wouldn't hire any male talent if there wasn't any good male talent... I understand that 0/11 seems bad but 11 isnt a very large number when thinking about how many female directors there are in comparison to male directors.

Hiring a woman just because she's a woman is as sexist as NOT hiring someone because of their sex/gender...

iTroLowElo · 2020-02-12T20:25:03+00:00

One thing ive noticed in a professional environment.

For the most part its women who have a problem with other women. Including their seniors. I have never had a guy walk up to me and talk shit about a female manager but the women in my office do it all the time irrespective of the managers gender.

Even the judgement comes from mostly female coworkers, guys dont care what you wear or if you are wearing makeup. Its the women who judge and call stuff like "plain jane." Its mostly women holding other women back. Like this perfect example here. She wants women to have opportunities but doesnt want to be the one to give them the opportunities. Lmfao. Typical worthless rabid feminist.

Wafflefanny · 2020-02-12T19:18:16+00:00

The most feminist thing everyone can do is hire directors (and give them Oscars for that matter) based on their experience, value and contributions to society rather than what they look like or have for genitals.

Perhaps what is really happening here is those women who were “snubbed” were merely beaten in the arena of their choosing. Perhaps it is plausible that the judges weren’t sexist, but merely chose the best contributions. Which is strictly their job to do so.

It's not a question of being snubbed, it's a matter of being above all others in your particular category. Being nominated just because you are female is not a good reason.

He’s a hero, but I; a married and faithful, daughter-raising, and yes slightly more conservative and not as concerned of all the outrage culture issues—-man, am the problem with our society. 🧐

‘I’m really upset my gender isn’t being represented as I stand here in a Christian Dior gown that took 900hours to make’

This is what really riles me. Gender inequality (which I certainly believe exists- but for BOTH) is used and manipulated to be a smokescreen for the true inequality- wealth.

If your born a girl in an affluent western city, go to private school, with parents that enable you to never truly have to worry about keeping a roof over your head- you can be anything you want. Film director, successful artist, anything.

If your born a girl, boy, any race, any orientation, whatever, but you are from a poor background- forget it. You could be the next Kubrick, Scorsese or Spielberg. Doesn’t matter.

Every inequality is the result of wealth inequality. When we don’t have enough for ourselves we persecute others in the hope that we can be prioritised. If we carry on singly focussing on one side of one particular inequality and ignore the source, or worst even enable the truly privileged to get away with it while we fight amongst ourselves, nothing will improve. Ever.

xPM_ME_YOUR_UPSKIRTx · 2020-02-27T02:17:20+00:00

I was on board with this, but eventually it was made a little clear to me what her production company is. Natalie pitches in some of her own money (her company is likely just an LLC comprised of her and her accountant, essentially making it an extension of her own finances) to help fund movies that she's a part of. In exchange, she gets a percentage of the box profits. This means she runs a risk of losing money, but only on movies that she's acting in.

And we mostly all understand that actors don't really get to pick what projects they're cast in unless they own a production company, buy a script, and EP the whole thing, which Portman doesn't really have the money to do all the time.

So to clarify, her production company is really just there to simplify (or simplify through complication, a process that accountants, engineers, and programmers are familiar with) the finances of the movie by separating her pay as an actor from her investment. It also probably does her a lot of good on her taxes. People like RDJ do the same with their production companies. Team Downey is pretty much Robert, his wife, one other guy, and probably a part-time accountant. They don't even have an office, just a PO box, and only so that RDJ doesn't have to list his home address for the public to see when they look up Team Downey (LLCs must legally have an attached address and it is always publicly visible, even if the owners are not publicly listed).

Journeyman12 · 2020-02-13T01:43:57+00:00

This'll get downvoted, or more likely ignored, but whatever. Tl;dr: the tweet has a point, but not much of one, because Portman's company is tiny, and thus has limited (sometimes nonexistent) power to choose the director on "its" films.

To start with, Portman's company, Handsomecharlie Films, hasn't produced 11 films. It's produced seven: The Other Woman (2009), Hesher (2010), No Strings Attached (2011), A Tale of Love and Darkness (2015), Jane Got a Gun (2015), Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016), and Eating Animals (2017). The company has technically been involved with eleven total projects, but to get there, you have to count a 17-minute short that Portman directed, Eve (2008), as well as three projects in development: Foxy Trotter, Best Buds, and an absurdly long title that I'll just refer to as Artifacts. Including those four is pretty misleading, since the first one is a 17-minute short and the latter three don't even have directors at all; Foxy Trotter had a guy signed on to direct in 2017, but he's not officially listed as director on either the project's IMDB page or his own, so I'd really hesitate to count those.

So, seven films. Portman herself directed A Tale of Love and Darkness, as the tweet mentioned, so we leave that out. Six films remain, all directed by men: in chronological order, that's Don Roos, Spencer Susser, Ivan Reitman, Gavin O'Connor, Burr Steers and Christopher Dillon Quinn. The Guardian points out that O'Connor was a replacement for Lynne Ramsey, the original choice, who dropped out after starting the project. Still, even if we include Portman herself and throw in Ramsey, that's five of seven Handsomecharlie films whose first-choice directors were male. Still not a great look.

However, there's more to the story. The underlying premise of the tweet is that Portman has power to hire female directors, which she has failed to use.

Take a look at the box office numbers for the films produced by her company.

Film	Year	Gross Box Office (US)
The Other Woman	2008	$452,191
Hesher	2009	$449,702
No Strings Attached	2011	$145,200,000
A Tale of Love and Darkness	2015	$572,212¹
Jane Got a Gun	2015	$3,800,000
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies	2016	$16,400,000
Eating Animals	2017	$130,000

Four of the seven films failed to even gross $1,000,000 in US box office receipts. A fifth made $3.8M, but on a production budget of $25M (ouch). The only two that made any amount of money at all, by Hollywood standards, were Pride and Strings. Per IMDB and Wikipedia, the main production companies for Strings were Paramount, Dreamworks and Spyglass Entertainment; Handsomecharlie isn't even listed on the Wikipedia page. Pride didn't have a behemoth company associated with it, but it did have an absurd ten different production companies associated with it; Handsomecharlie was only one.

What's the point of all this? To say that the premise of Portman (in her producer capacity) having power to hire female directors, power that she has hypocritically failed to exercise, is just wrong. There's no serious argument that her tiny company had the power to hire the director in Strings, and again, Handsomecharlie was one of ten companies on Pride. For that matter, here's all of Handsomecharlie's films by the number of production companies on them:

Film	Year	# of Production Companies
The Other Woman	2008	4
Hesher	2009	8
No Strings Attached	2011	7
A Tale of Love and Darkness	2015	4²
Jane Got a Gun	2015	9
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies	2016	10
Eating Animals	2017	3

Even for these tiny projects, without reading the contracts or understanding the business relationships at work here, it's hard to argue that she had sole power to hire the director even on tiny indie projects like Woman, Hesher, Tale and Eating Animals. Certainly she had some power, since she directed Tale, but at the absolute minimum, it's reasonable to assume that those directorial choices did not rest solely with Handsomecharlie.

In the Guardian article accompanying the backlash to her dress, Portman was quoted as saying the following:

“I have had the experience a few times of helping get female directors hired on projects which they were then forced out of because of the conditions they faced at work... After they are made, female-directed films face difficulty getting into festivals, getting distribution and getting accolades because of the gatekeepers at every level. So I want to say, I have tried, and I will keep trying. While I have not yet been successful, I am hopeful that we are stepping into a new day.”

Given the name and vocation of this subreddit, I don't expect people to take Portman's statement that she tried her damnwell best to get female directors at face value. But the "check your privilege" message of the tweet is ignorant at best and willfully ignorant at worst. By all indications, Portman had at best limited power to choose the director on any of Handsomecharlie's projects, and virtually no power to do so on the two bigger films. Based on the history and projects of her company, she's not some hypocritical Hollywood star failing to exercise her power to achieve the result she preaches for. She's a pretty small player in a huge industry, and as best I can tell, she has seldom, if ever, had the sole power to choose a director.

¹ A Tale of Love and Darkness also grossed 1,766,357 shekels in Israel, or an additional $519,460 at current exchange rates.

² AToLaD, which sounds like a superhero sidekick, also had the presumably financial support of another nine Israeli funds and film production councils.

That’s funny, because I seem to remember the year (prior to the whole “woke” movement bandwagon) where Kathryn Bigelow received Oscars for both “Best Director” and “Best Picture” over a relatively unknown Director called “James Cameron”, or something like that.

So a female director beat out one of the most well known, accomplished, and powerful male directors to ever live, but it’s still rigged against female directors...

Lol, these people are batshit crazy. They will never be content, no matter what. They will always find a way to play the victim. It’s what they literally do for a living; they pretend to be something that they are not. I would be willing to bet that the overwhelming majority of Hollywood “Stars” have legitimate mental illness levels of delusion, narcissism, and sociopathic tendencies.

I don’t think the Oscars goes out intending to snub female directors, it just happens that their are more male directors and they must just make better movies. No one is saying a woman can’t make an Oscar winning movie, it’s just they haven’t. Imagine if no girl had climbed up Mount Everest, do we call the mountain sexist?

Hrm.

I don't know the full situation; I haven't seen all the movies that were nominated and I haven't seen the ones that were supposedly snubbed, so I couldn't say whether it's unfair or not. I also have no idea what possible directors Portman was able to hire in her production company(not everyone is going to be available or interested in every project all the time).

Still, it's not hard to imagine a situation where: 1. these specific female directors created superior movies to some of the ones nominated, and 2. the best choices for directors that Portman could hire at the time happened to be men. If this were the case, there would be absolutely no hypocrisy.

If for example Portman had to opportunity to hire Greta Gerwig for a movie, decided not to, then complained that Gerwig was snubbed, you might claim hypocrisy. But even then it could be possible that Gerwig might not have been the right fit for that hypothetical movie...

Really, there are so many variables and so many unknowns, it's pretty silly to form a strong opinion on it.

If someone has watched every nominated movie, every snubbed movie, and compared critical reception of each to try to get an objective view on them, and somehow they have access to all the business dealings of Portman's production company so they know which directors were available for which projects, how much budget each required, what their pitches were and how the production company reacted to said pitches... then they would be capable of deciding whether or not Portman was hypocritical.

[Rose] McGowan accused Portman of failing to support female film-makers either by working with them or hiring them through her production company. She said Portman had only been directed twice by women (including her self-directed film A Tale of Love and Darkness). In fact, Portman has worked with Mira Nair on the short film compilation New York, I Love You, as well as on the Rebecca Zlotowski-directed Planetarium.

Portman said: “It is true I’ve only made a few films with women. In my long career, I’ve only gotten the chance to work with female directors a few times … Unfortunately, the unmade films I have tried to make are a ghost history.”

Portman’s company, Handsomecharlie Films, has participated in seven completed films to date, including the romcom No Strings Attached and the thriller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Portman’s A Tale of Love and Darkness is the only female-directed film on its list, while Lynne Ramsay left Jane Got a Gun and was replaced by Gavin O’Connor.

“I have had the experience a few times of helping get female directors hired on projects which they were then forced out of because of the conditions they faced at work,” Portman said. “After they are made, female-directed films face difficulty getting into festivals, getting distribution and getting accolades because of the gatekeepers at every level. So I want to say, I have tried, and I will keep trying. While I have not yet been successful, I am hopeful that we are stepping into a new day.”

Now I've worked with awesome or shitty men and women so I didn't pay much attention. That is until our new CEO in one breath told an entire department of a 1000 employees that they need to be more inclusive while removing our COO and replacing her with his buddy(a man) from another company. The department he mentioned has many women working there and as far as I know our COO was well liked and did a good job. "Management, we support our friends and our bonuses"

fiskiligr · 2020-02-12T22:14:31+00:00

This reminds me of the tu quoque fallacy - if Natalie Portman is making a point that female directors are not receiving recognition they deserve, it doesn't matter whether she herself has failed to hire them.

Think of it this way: a slave owner can make an argument against slavery, and their argument won't be wrong just because they own slaves (and are hypocrites). Slavery is still wrong, and their argument isn't shown false by their hypocrisy.

Similarly, Portman's point of female directors being under-recognized isn't shown false because she hasn't hired or supported female directors as a producer herself. It means she is a hypocrite, and her virtue signalling is hypocritical, but her point still stands.
