🚨Hello! The time has come to say goodbye to TDL. The database will be going away this Thursday, so if you need to do any last searches, now is the time. The rest of the site will be going away in mid-August. More details will be shared soon...

Tanaka was already one of Japan’s greatest actors—collaborating with auteurs like Mizoguchi, Ozu, & Naruse—when she began her unprecedented directing career in a studio system that discouraged female filmmakers.

Let me see if I understand this: the Academy nominated "Barbie" for Best Picture (eight nominations total) -- a film about women being sidelined and rendered invisible in patriarchal structures -- but not the woman who directed the film.

Okay then.

For the first time in #Oscars history, three of the 10 movies nominated for best picture - #AnatomyOfAFall, #PastLives and #Barbie - were helmed by a woman https://t.co/qn2uiCS3VY

[NEON @neonrated]

She did it.

Congratulations to director Justine Triet for ANATOMY OF A FALL's five #Oscars nominations. 💫

[JulieDash @JulieDash]

Dear @AvaDuVernay, keep your head held high. That #ORIGIN did not receive a single Oscar nomination, in any category, is much, more than a snub. It confirms my theory, posted years ago. Once you ventured 'too deeply' into world history...a comfort level was ruptured. Keep it up!
