Hi, guys. In today’s news, we’re reporting about a woman calling out the inherent sexism in the entertainment industry, because it’s 2018, but that shit still exists.
Hollywood actor Natalie Portman and director Ron Howard presented the Best Director award at the Golden Globe Awards held recently.
And, as you can probably guess, there was not a single woman on the list of nominees. So, Natalie Portman did this.

I gotta say that what Natalie Portman did by adding the word “male” to the introduction for best director took some serious guts. Did you see the awkward looks? That’s the face of change.
