After hearing the 2020 Oscar nominations, a very disappointed Bette Midler took to Twitter, suggesting an "Osc-hers" show to celebrate the women in the industry who were snubbed this year.
And people can't help but notice the lack of female representation in the Best Director category.
Issa Rae immediately threw shade after reading the list of nominees, saying: “Congratulations to those men.”
Especially considering how many brilliant, critically acclaimed films directed by women were released this year.
This person pointed out the lack of diversity in the nominations, generally, as well as the absence of female filmmakers.
Every single time I witness male privilege going forward, this is the face I am going to make.
Arianna Davis, you just exposed the reality of award shows in a single tweet. I applaud you.
Although, it is definitely disappointing that in 2020 women are still fighting for equality on such a fundamental level.
Disgruntled by the list of nominees, she tweeted, suggesting there should be an alternative award show for women since, apparently, the Oscars only represent men.
"Maybe we just get our own show called the Osc-hers? "
I second this!
Bette, you had me at "Osc-hers".
This is an incredible idea. Sign me up!
Others suggested that women should boycott this year's ceremony altogether.
Withdrawing their support entirely would really make a statement.
Considering this whole thing was her idea, she definitely needs to be a key player in organizing it!
The arts should be celebrated without any regard for gender, color, religion, or sexual orientation, amirite?!
Do you agree with Bette Midler that women should have their own award show?
