Before announcing Stewart as their Actress of the Decade the Hollywood Critics Association lamented the lack of female directors being nominated for awards during awards season.
The continued exclusion of female directors during awards season confirms why we made a category for female filmmakers. They should be viewed as equals and films like Honey Boy, Booksmart, The Farewell, Hustlers, The Nightingale, and Blinded by the Light deserve to be nominated.
