From Roger Friedman:
The Directors Guild of America took a huge leap this morning. They snubbed Steven Spielberg for “The Post” and ushered in a new era.Their nominees are all first timers but for one — Christopher Nolan. Greta Gerwig is the 8th woman ever to be nominated. Jordan Peele is only the second African American director after Lee Daniels to achieve a nomination. Peele was not only nominated for Best Film with “Get Out,” but overlapped in the First Feature category. Also snubbed were other more veteran directors like Joe Wright and Paul Thomas Anderson.
Such progress! What is Chris Nolan doing on the nominee list? We need to mobilize to get him off such nominee lists. Enough with the white guys, especially ones who, in fact, may be based or otherwise not anti-white.
