And yet this guy didn’t get it. Not one bit.
Natalie Portman is offended that every #GoldenGlobes nominated director this year is a man, even though women directed just 7% of the 250 highest grossing films last year.

One of the top 10 highest grossing films of 2017 was directed by a woman. She wasn't nominated.

Um, are you seriously not getting the point that women aren’t getting the opportunity to direct major films, and therefore to be nominated?

You shouldn’t be allowed to share a last name with Beyoncé.

I think that is the point she is trying to make. And I think it went right over your head.

Typo in your tweet. You meant "and that," but typed "even though." Easy mistake.

Turns out this person knew him from college. At least he’s consistent.
You've changed zero from college. Contrarian for contrarian's sake.
