Is it possible that a woman wasn’t one of the 5 best this year?

Not every year is going to have an option in the top 5…Sarah Polley is likely close but who gets bumped?

I assume the guy from Triangle of Sadness but at best then, she’s 5th. Women won the last 2 years…it’s not like Oscar has ignored them for years.

- Who you taking out? There’s 5 spots. 4 were pretty spoken for … Daniels/ McDonough, Spielberg, Tar guy … seem really safe. - Will Hunting Mar 12, 09:43 5
  - Me? Östlund for sure. I haven't seen Polley's film, but considering it got a BP nod, she would be a solid pick. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 12, 09:53 4
    - I get it but his did as well… - Will Hunting Mar 12, 10:04 1
      - Yep. - Marlowe Mar 12, 10:09
    - her direction was gorgeous -- nm - mud Mar 12, 09:57 1
      - I tried to watch it this week, but things didn't go as planned and I got deflated a bit. Speedbumps are the K2 for me still. Hopefully this week. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 12, 10:00
- but also begs the question why more women don't get the gigs in the first place -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 12, 09:31 2
  - This. Not that GP-B or CW were among the handful of women directing my Top 10-ish films of 2022. Certainly not GP-B, who - Marlowe Mar 12, 09:51
