But in a low-key ceremony in Los Angeles, Kathryn Bigelow became the first-ever female winner of the Directors’ Guild of America (DGA) award for best direction in a feature film.
This is an important moment: in the DGA’s 62-year-existence no female director has ever won this award. Congratulations to Bigelow aside, this win now points her firmly in the direction of an Academy award: almost every DGA win in this category results in the same achievement at the Oscars.
Why is this significant? For starters, the Oscar winners over the years are disproportionately male and white; only three women – in its entire 82-year history – have been nominated in the best director’s category: none have won. With the Oscar telecast one of the most widely viewed annual media events in the world, with an audience of tens of millions of people in 90 countries (and over 30 million in the USA alone), it provides a stratospheric boost to success and vast earning power.. So it’s not really about owning a golden statue: it’s about achieving a profile that affords unlimited opportunities in the film industry.

Even more incredible is the film she won for!
Haha. I was there too. But then again, who wasn’t?Went to a warehouse/rooftop party downtown tonight. Wasn’t bad at all: $2 at the door. 18+ $2 beers. Electro. 4 DJs (I think) & you could smoke inside….
It was interesting …. and apparently, they are going to try to throw them 2x a month or every other week. Was an interesting group of people… hipsters galore but nothing you can’t handle (seeing as it is Portland….)
Glad I went & can’t wait for the next one for sure!
mouth fuck.
Jesus, I know right?! I barely know ANYONE in Portland, and I saw people there I actually know/who I’m acquainted with… It was odd. How long were you there until? I left around 2.30. Didn’t have as much fun as I should have….
Was this at the weird, Swan Island after hours place?
And I couldnt think of anything I really wanted to put this jar of Nutella on.
So now its just time to spoon it straight out of the jar.
And into my mouth.
i have no words. WANT TIMES TEN.
molly & i are getting these bad boys - first step - learning to navigate the website.
I Could rock this.
Either the American Dollar got really really fucked or these things are basically $231.
Im sure I can find me some adult footie pajamas and pretend theyre from American Apparel.
we did the halftime show at the playoff games between the colts and the jets. i don’t know dick about football, nor do i really care, but this was super cool. we were so close that, at one point, we dodged an over-shot football during the game. it was crazy.
we were standing about 15 to 20 paces from the colts endzone. in between us and the endzone were the colts cheerleaders. that wasn’t so bad. surely a pretty choice spot.
and in case you were wondering, yes, football astro-turf is different than normal astro-turf. don’t ask me how it’s different, it just is.
Next time, youre totally allowed to bring me. Ill be the goth to jock translator.
