Social Media Cries Foul After No Women Are Nominated For 2018’s Golden Globes Best Director

Greta Gerwig’s first directorial role yielded the critically acclaimed Lady Bird. However, despite the film’s positive reception, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not include Gerwig – or any other female director – in its 2018 Golden Globes best director category.
