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.

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!
