Most Oscar prognosticators had their money on Greta Gerwig landing her second Best Director Oscar nomination. She did direct “Barbie,” after all — the biggest movie of the year and one of the best reviewed. But in the end, it was not to be.
Instead (and it really does feel like the Academy does an “either or” with women in this category), Justine Triet scored a nod for “Anatomy of a Fall,” a widely praised film that also received nods for Best Picture, best actress, original screenplay and editing nods. The movie, starring Best Actress nominee Sandra Hüller, also won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes film festival in May.
