Female Directors Who Missed Out On #Oscar Love?
Can you name any one big Hollywood female director? No right?
But if I asked you the same question just in regards to Bollywood, these names will instantly pop up. Gauri Shinde. Zoya Akhtar. Kiran Rao and even to an extent Farah Khan (although predominantly in entertainment, but she is still an extremely popular director in Bollywood).
The reason why I am pointing out this difference is because if we take Hollywood, then only 1 woman has ever won the Best Director Oscar, and to further the embarrassment, in the 88 years of the Oscars, only 4 women have been nominated in the Best Director category.
