Globes: Portman takes a jibe at 'all-male' director category
Golden Globes 2018 snubbed women filmmakers from the Best Director category and the decision did not go down well with presenter Natalie Portman, who slammed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for making it an 'all-men' space. Portman attended the awards night to announce the winner for the Best Director category and after co-presenter Ron Howard introduced the nominees she sarcastically said, "And here are the all-male nominees." Director Guillermo Del Toro went on to win the award for "The Shape of Water," but many fans felt women directors like Greta Gerwig, Dee Rees and Patty Jenkins were unfairly shut out of the category. Del Toro was nominated alongside Martin McDonagh for "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri", Christopher Nolan for "Dunkirk", Ridley Scott for "All the Money in the World" and Steven Spielberg for "The Post". Only one woman has ever won in the category is Barbra Streisand, for "Yentl" in 1984. Many celebs and fans took to Twitter to ...

McDormand won Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama Golden Globe, co-star Sam Rockwell won Best Supporting Actor and Martin McDonagh was recognised for Best Screenplay. The awards were dedicated to what McDormand referred to as the "tectonic shift" in ...

The 39-year-old actor accepted the award alongside Wiseau, while noticeably blocking him away from taking the microphone onstage.
