Natalie Portman went viral because she’s funny and she nailed it in seven words at the Golden Globes
Here’s Natalie Portman announcing the best director award at the Golden Globes in Hollywood alongside Ron Howard.
Ron Howard: "We are honored … to be here to present the award for best director."

The awards were dominated by issues of gender and racial injustice and the sexual assault scandal in Hollywood and beyond.
Portman’s approach was rather different to Oprah Winfrey’s amazing lifetime achievement speech, and yet made its point in its own, very succinct, seven-word way.

And yet some people still didn’t get it.
I haven't heard of any Notable let alone good Female directors until Paty Jenkins. I guess she could get a Nod for #WonderWoman but its third act is a Mess.

It's because women aren't given the same opportunity as men in Film/TV hence why we don't see many female directors right now and why you probably haven't heard of notable female directors.

"And here are the all male nominees." Natalie Portman calls it for what it is.

And in case you’re wondering, the all-male nominations were …
Guillermo Del Toro – The Shape of Water.
Martin McDonagh – Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Christopher Nolan – Dunkirk
Ridley Scott – All the Money in the World
Steven Spielberg – The Post
(Del Toro won).
And yes a woman has won it before. Just the once though. Barbara Streisand in 1984, for Yentl.
