This is kind of stupid tbh. Margot and Greta are NOT competing against Ryan. They're competing against other females. This is because of this thing called "categories".

Ryan getting nominated has NOTHING to do with this. It's not like Ryan got nominated but they didn't because he took their place.

This is happening because of the absolute flood of female centric characters and movies that came out recently. There's too much competition. And much to the "feminists" dismay, Barbie is actually mid compared to the other movies and actresses.

There was 1 female director nominated.

What percentage of directors are female?

[–] Mamertine@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

I feel like it should be 50% as they make up just over half of the US population.

I could only quickly get statistics for 2019.

https://womenandhollywood.com/resources/statistics/

On the top 100 grossing films of 2019, women represented:

10.7% of directors 19.4% of writers 24.3% of producers 70.4% of casting directors

It feels like you're saying there should be more. I have no idea who's been nominated, nor do I know most of the films that came out last year, so I'm out of the loop and would like to know if you have any female director movies you'd recommend in place of who's been nominated.

Barbie was a cultural phenomenon so I would say Greta should at least be nominated. Openheimer was an ok movie in my eyes I didn't see any of the others. I don't personally think Barbie was a great movie not a bad movie but more like a good movie. The fact it gave a voice to so many women should mean something.
