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.

Nailed it!

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.

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.
