Hollywood A-lister Natalie Portman decided to make a statement with her Oscars look this year by honouring the women directors snubbed by the Academy.
And while the Black Swan actor bagged ample praises over her tribute, there were many who slapped labels on her of being a ‘hypocrite.’
The actor was under fire for her production company Handsomecharliefilms not roping in women directors for their films.
Amazing gesture! If only the production company she owns and runs would hire female directors other than *Natalie Portman*
, then it might not be seen as quite so performative
It was also pointed out that the only woman director the firm has ever hired was Portman herself.
What I find funny is that Natalie Portman has hired 0 (zero) women to direct the movies made using her own production company. I think there’s about 7 films under her company, she hired male directors for all of them. Hollywood hypocrites are fun.
I am so sick of performative (white) feminism being applauded, especially when Natalie Portman has a production c
ompany and it has only ever hired one (1) female director: HER
Portman had arrived at the 92nd Academy Awards on Sunday in a custom Dior gown with a cape that featured the names of female directors who were not nominated for the best director category of the award show.
