zacharylevis:Golden Globes 2018 // Oscars 2018 // Oscars 2020 NomineesTo all the ones that keep saying the “complaints” of the women in these gifs (and not only theirs) are unnecessary, now more than ever female directors (and with them also cinematographers, editors and so on) are finally getting the chances to be heard and their works to be seen/considered and to actually get behind a camera and make a good film meeting (I want to hope) less obstacles than before… we are not talking about not winning here, we are talking about not even being considered able to get in the lists of names that could be nominated. In the last two decades the number of female directors has been increasing year by year. Female directors — equally or even more talented than any other male director existing but with only the men being awarded for their undoubtly masterpieces — finally started having (the luckiest ones) their voices heard and their works seen, but only FIVE (5) women made it to the directing category Oscars noms in 93 years (approximately a whole damn century). Unless there’s been some kind of convergence of magical circumstances every year since the awards for these things started, with high probability the female directors’ works have been delibaterly ignored and here is where we have the problem, that happened because they were women and considered less capable and who made works that somehow didn’t even deserve to be included between the names of the Kings of Directing. And it’s not only the Oscars, the Globes or whatever else, it’s the consideration they have (not) been given at all, as women, as human beings. What are awards after all? Does a woman really need an award that recognizes her work is a masterpiece? Of course not, but since they’re all in this together and the system is built on validation, it would be very good (not to mention it would very logical, equal and fair, other than just good) if both women and men were considered playing at the same levels. But they aren’t, in 2020 they still aren’t. Critics, and not, keep avoiding screenings, refusing to see the films that asked to be considered, and oh look it happens to always be a female-directed movie too. What a coincidence, huh? What these women are asking for in their “complaints” is not to receive the grace of being named between THOSE men, what they’re asking is that the conception the industry has of women has to change at the basis. They can’t make a whole speech live during the awards ceremonies, y’all think they would allow them to throw the sh*t in everyone’s face as they should as of now looking how things are going? No, they just had to use their voice and say a short but meaningful sentence, had a brief but intense reaction, to express that the industry is still missing it. Those women who keep “complaining” are asking for the consideration they should already have as human beings capable of making the same masterpieces of their male collegues. They are pointing out that there is NOT equality in the voting/awarding system and if we are people with a little bit of something in their brain and not just empty heads we should understand that that is truth. They’re fighting not to take something away from THOSE men, but to be equally considered as potential people deserving of acknowledgments, time of seeing their movies and eventualy being nominated. It’s a matter of equality, and as I’m all for it we should all be, and the industry should too. I don’t find their “scenes” on the stage ridiculous, I don’t think they’re exaggerated, and in no way I think they’re wrong. I think they’ve been too patient and it should be time for it to change. And they should get the consideration they deserve, not because I say this, or you say this or they say this, but because that’s how an equal system would work. -- source link
