There have been 82 best director awards in the Oscars. Only one has been given to a female (less than 1%) of all winners.
Yet, somehow, the fact that less than 1% of all Best Director Oscars being given to a woman is TOO MUCH for Cenk. In his opinion it should still be zero % women and 100% white men winners. He somehow thinks that it's so impossible and unlikely that a woman should actually deserve this award that he feel compelled to write an entire blog about it.
Look, we get that Inglorious Basterds was his favorite movie this year. Got it.
But he doesn't have question whether the winner actually deserves the award because she doesn't have a penis. I guess I'm going to have say that the previous 81 winners of best director ONLY got their awards because they had penises and they were white. Obviously, the Academy believes that only white men actually have enough talent to direct a movie well enough to win an Oscar and that's why for the past 81 years there has never been anything other than a white man win this award. Talent has nothing to do with it. Good directing has nothing to do with it. For 81 years it has only been about gender and color. Shame on the Academy!
