Monday's tone-deaf Golden Globes nominations somehow ignored nearly all deserving female and nonwhite filmmakers, many of whom broke records.
"Wonder Woman" was the first superhero film directed by a woman. It's the highest-grossing superhero origin-story movie ever, grossing more than $800 million worldwide -- an all-time record for a live-action film directed by a woman. Director Patty Jenkins may have single-handedly rescued the DC Comics film franchise.
Yet she was snubbed, as was star Gal Gadot and the movie itself -- heralded in this otherwise depressing year as a sweet-spirited reinforcement of girl power.
Yes, this is the Year of the Woman, we're told -- a year that's only really lasted two months, since the Weinstein scandal broke. Such short shrift now seems apt.

I got a little lezy with the excerpt, I couldn't possibly care less about a movie based on a freakin' comic book, or about a violent man-hating lezzie.

Aren’t awards ceremonies supposed to give awards for achievement without regard for who achieved the achievement?

They made a movie about Rosie O’Donnell?

It used to be that the first requirement was talent. Now, talent is way down on the list. Once they’ve eliminated people who don’t support their stupidity on sodomy and communism, there’s nobody left who has any talent or intelligence.
The author of the OP actually thinks making a movie from a comic book is a worthwhile endeavor. Bet she has a two-digit IQ and no education.

Aren’t awards ceremonies supposed to give awards for achievement without regard for who achieved the achievement? I think she is saying that by that standard, the women she mentioned deserved the awards. If Hollywood is full of mini-Weinsteins, she might have a point.
