Why are people so concerned with no female directing Oscar nominees?


There have been stats that show a low number of women attending film school. I think we should be concerned about the lack of female movie composers. Many women compose their own music, but for some reason there aren't many that are in film. There's one woman nominated this year, but it's still rare.

Let me correct the question:

"Why are woke people so concerned with no female directing Oscar nominees?"

reply

I'm woke too, but I'm also aware of math and interest within certain demographics.

reply

You're not woke enough. You must woke up.

Did you ever get around to watching "Half The Picture ", 2018?

reply

Yeah a while ago. I wish they delved further into the general intest of filmmaking. I would have liked to hear more from the perspective of the women who didn't get to make a movie to hear that struggle.

Side note: that site you gave me was legit. So much variety there.

I didn't get to make movies because I'm not strong enough to jump all the hurdles. I can barely survive here in gen pop. I'm easing up on mc.

I've noticed a lot more anger here recently.

I can respect the choices you have made in life. But I can not abide the promotion of those beliefs. It's hateful and hurtful and every time I see it, a piece of me dies inside.

Are you seriously unaware of the trail of destruction you leave behind, Mr. Proud Red Pill?
Just look down at your post to samoanjoe.
Every. single. day.
Forsaken, you would be a good poster if you could just bite your tongue on the misogyny.

Nah, everyone else gets to speak their mind on here. So should I.

I don't post every single day either by the way.

Of course. I just wish they showcased it more in the film. It was mostly female directors who have made it. It could have been an interesting perspective to see women still aching to make a film of their own.

Maybe they can do a sequel on female composers. There are so few of them. I hope the woman who did the score for Joker wins because it was the only memorable score this year.

I'm not concerned at all by a lack of women in anything.

It shouldn't come down to gender or race etc quotas.

reply

I question the lack of female composers. Female solo artists compose music of their own all the time but it's never shown in the amount of women film composers. And I'm not just talking about Oscars.

reply

I have an issue with someone getting nominated just because they are _________. I want women to be recognized for the work that they do, but I don't want something not so deserving just to win because it was directed by a woman.

reply

I think sometimes the Oscars are pressured to vote for something undeserving. I'm looking at you, Black Panther.

reply

The Hurt Locker also comes to mind. A decent film but mostly forgotten.

They can't have it both ways, one second they say gender doesn't matter and another second they start wanting privilege for gender.

If a woman makes a great film than that's awesome. But they shouldn't be called great films just because they are made by women.
