It has begun. The crazy awards season. We’re going to keep track of the women creatives (and films about women) on the way to the Oscars.
The good news. Two women directors are up for best feature. The Hurt Locker was expected, but Amreeka is a big, good surprise. So psyched that Cherien is getting noticed for this wonderful film debut. Three of the film nominated for best ensemble have a woman director of co-director – The Hurt Locker, Cold Souls and Sugar.
Bad news. No woman director included in the list of breakthrough director.
Best Feature
Amreeka – Cherien Dabis, director
The Hurt Locker – Kathryn Bigelow, director
Best Documentary
My Neighbor My Killer Anne Aghion, director/producer
