News Desk: According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organizer of the Oscars, a record number of 8 women have been included in the nomination list this time. The light between them is on the two women creators.

They are Chloe Zhao (Nomadland) from China and Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) from the UK. In the 92-year history of the Oscars, only five female producers have been nominated for Best Director. And this time the names of two women are running for the best director in one session. This is the first such incident. So Emerald Fennell is so happy that her crying is not stopping! He himself expressed this feeling on Twitter.

For the first time, a British female producer has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director by Emerald Fennell. But ‘Promising Young Woman’ is his first film! She is best known for her performances in the TV series ‘Call the Midwife and The Crown’. In addition to the best director, he was nominated for Best Film and Best Original Screenplay. Chloe Jao, who is permanently based in the United States, has been nominated for a total of four branches.

In addition to being the best film and best director, he has a name in the Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing category. If he wins them all, he will be able to share Walt Disney's record, the pioneer of the American animation industry. He is the only one to win four awards at an Oscar. Disappointingly, the academy never recognized women-centric films as the best films. That's why 'Nomadland', which has won Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards, is a favorite of some but not a bet. Two female rivals in the Best Director category are Thomas Winterberg (Another Round), David Fincher (Mank) and Lee Isaac Chang (Minari).

Oscar's best director branch is like a men's castle! Katherine Bigelow is the only female producer to win the award. In 2010, The Heart Locker brought him this honor. Vanessa Kerby, nominated for Best Actress for her role as a traumatized mother in "Pieces of a Woman", is honored to be a partner in women's achievement. "It's our job to find women's unspoken experiences and tell them stories," she said. It seems more than ever. '
