Nothing seems to have changed at the Golden Globes , which failed to recognize the work of women in film once again.

Nominations for the 77th annual ceremony were unveiled Monday, and much to Natalie Portmans disdain not a single woman received a nod in the directing or writing categories.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which selects the nominees for achievements in film and television over the past year, certainly werent starved for female talent, but chose to honor an all-male group of directors Bong Joon Ho (Parasite), Sam Mendes (1917), Quentin Tarantino (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Martin Scorsese (The Irishman) and Todd Phillips (Joker).

Greta Gerwig, who helmed a critically acclaimed and star-studded adaptation of Little Women, was perhaps the most surprising snub, as she seemed poised for a strong awards season showing after becoming just the fifth woman to be nominated for the Best Director Oscar last year.

Do not look for justice in the awards system, director Alma Harel , who was considered a contender for Honey Boy, tweeted in response to the dearth of female nominations. We are building a new world.
