Natalie Portman acknowledged the female directors who were snubbed by the Academy with her Oscars look.
One of the biggest criticisms of the 2020 Academy Awards has been the lack of female nominees within the directing categories, as such Portman’s look was an urgent reminder. The event marked the 10th anniversary of Kathryn Bigelow’s landmark Best Director win for, yet the Oscars failed to honor any of the women who defined the year’s film landscape.
Though audiences responded to the work created by Lorene Scafaria, Greta Gerwig, and Lulu Wang, when it came time for the prestigious nominations to be handed out, their names weren’t on the shortlist. As a director herself, Portman understands the struggles women face within the industry, and her sartorial salute to her peers wasn’t just chic fashion—it was a statement of solidarity.
