The Oscars have seen a mere nine women nominated for Best Director in its nearly 100-year history, highlighting the persistent gender disparity in filmmaking recognition. Since the pioneering nomination of Lina Wertmüller in 1977, only three women have achieved wins: Jane Campion, Chloé Zhao, and Kathryn Bigelow. Coralie Fargeat's recent nomination for her film "The Substance" exemplifies the ongoing struggle for female filmmakers to gain visibility in major awards, despite their ongoing contributions and success in the film industry, including accolades at prestigious festivals.
In nearly a century of Oscars history, women directors have faced significant challenges, with only nine receiving nominations for Best Director since Lina Wertmüller's groundbreaking nod in 1977.
Coralie Fargeat stands out as the latest nominee for Best Director at the Oscars, marking a critical moment in recognizing female filmmakers alongside previous winners Jane Campion, Chloé Zhao, and Kathryn Bigelow.
