Because of the rigid voting rules for the Oscars, Greta Gerwig was not able to vote for herself for best director for “Little Women.” When Gerwig was asked to be a member of the Academy in 2016, sh…
” did receive six nominations, including Gerwig for adapted screenplay. She’s happiest about the best picture nod. “It felt like it was for everyone,” she says. “So there was a lot of ecstatic texting among the ‘Little Women’ chain.” She had awakened that morning to feed Harold, her 10-month-old baby, with her partner, “Marriage Story” writer-director Noah Baumbach. “Noah’s across the room, and he was like, ‘I got six too!’” Gerwig says. “I don’t know, it was an amazing day.
In 2014, Gerwig overheard her agent talking about how Amy Pascal, Robin Swicord, and Denise Di Novi were going to do a new version of “Little Women.” “And I was like, ‘They what?’” Gerwig recalls. “I had just reread it. And I had an idea, and it felt fortuitous.” She was hired, and wrote three or four drafts of the screenplay before going off to make “Lady Bird.” She would also occasionally mention that she’d like to direct: “I got what I call a ‘Hollywood no’ — nobody really says no to you, it just doesn’t go anywhere.” But the five Oscar nominations for “Lady Bird” — including best picture and two for Gerwig — got her the “Little Women” directing job as well.
After the Oscars, Gerwig will return to New York to begin rehearsals on Sam Gold’s revival of Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters” with Oscar Isaac. When the play opens, she says, she will begin writing her next project, which she declines to detail. “Hopefully by the end of the play, I’ll have a lot of material that then I can go away and start shaping more properly. But I’m not going to direct something until 2021.
