The all-male directors nomination list is dismaying in an awards announcement that has done well by the wonderful Marriage Story
Assessing awards season for snubs has become a favoured form of critical jiu-jitsu in recent years, and maybe it is too easy when a five-strong nomination list in any category inevitably has to miss people out.

Golden Globes 2020 list of best director nominees is an all-male affair, with Greta Gerwig’s direction of Little
Women not making the cut, and not making it on to the all-male best screenplay nomination list either.
