Patty Jenkins slammed Academy Awards 2023 for no female in Best Director category. Speaking to Variety, “I give up, I give up,” adding, “I say that even with all of their push to have diversity. Numbers are just hugely imbalanced of who votes for these things. I sort of just stopped paying attention to it.”

“It’s still going to take long ways to go. It’s going to take a lot more to really see truly more diverse awards. I really appreciate efforts that they’re making but we have long way to go,” Jenkins continued.

Moreover till director Chinonye Chukwu also lashed out at “Unabashed misogyny” of film industry after Oscars snub against film.

Woman King filmmaker Gina Prince-Bythewood also called out her film being sidelined by awards, saying, “It’s not snub. It’s reflection of where Academy stands and consistent chasm between Black excellence and recognition.”–Agencies
