Quote:
"The morning the Oscar nominations were announced, I was incensed that [Sarah] Polley was not nominated for Best Director—a category that shockingly (or maybe not) has only men in competition this year. [...] I rewatched [Women Talking] this week and was transfixed once again. But every now and then the experience was interrupted by my rage that not a single one of these superb actors was recognized with an Oscar nomination. Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley, Claire Foy. Sheila McCarthy! These are among the best performances you will ever see."
