After winning the SpiritAward for best feature for her film TheFarewell, Lulu Wang addressed the criticism surrounding the lack of female director nominees: 'What women need is just the job. Just give them the freakin' job. Give them the money'
The host joked the Spirit Awards is"so much cooler than the Oscars" because they"recognize female directors ... all two of them." Saturday afternoon in Santa Monica, host Aubrey Plaza was quick to celebrate something else: diverse nominees and female directors.
"I'm so proud of how diverse this show is. Jenifer Lopez and I are both super hot Puerto Ricans. I mention that because Puerto Rico is kind of like an independent film. It's beautiful, not enough people have seen it and its financing is always falling through," Plaza said as Lopez cringed. Later on in the night, when Idina Menzel and Alfre Woodard took the stage to present the award for best supporting actress, they applauded the Spirit Awards for making history. "For the first time all five nominees in the acting category are women of color," Woodward said as the audience erupted into applause.
