See the detail in her red carpet look that REALLY took it over the top (via toofab)
This is now the second time Portman has made a statement about an award shows' lack of female representation in this particular category.
While presenting the Best Director category at the 2018 Golden Globes, the actress said into the mic, "And here are the all-male nominees." "I discussed with some of the women I've been working with that they had offered to me to present the director category, but I felt uncomfortable because it seemed to be excluding some deserving nominees," she told Buzzfeed after the fact. "And how could I bring attention to it without disrespecting the nominees? Because it's not their fault, and they all made great work. You don't want to not recognize them.
Only five women have ever been nominated for Best Director, and only one has ever won: Kathryn Bigelow for 2009's "The Hurt Locker."
