She did what she had to do. Photo: Gabe Ginsberg/Getty Images If the Oscars are woke enough to have two actors of color announce the 2020 nominations, they should’ve known someone was gonna clap back about their decidedly un-woke list of nominees. Issa Rae and John Cho had the honor of announcing which white men had been nominated for the Academy Awards Monday morning. Everything was going great until the Best Director category reared its ugly head.
Before moving to the next category, Issa Rae gave a not-so-warm “Congratulations to those men,” a play on Keke Palmer’s “Sorry to this man” and an echo of Natalie Portman’s “And here are the all-male nominees” from 2018. . There’s history. And there’s truth. Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, Lulu Wang’s The Farewell, Lorene Scafaria’s Hustlers, and Marielle Heller’s A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood were all snubbed for Best Director. Little Women was even nominated for Best Picture.
