Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman arrived at the Oscars Sunday wearing a Dior cape embroidered with the names of female directors who were snubbed by the awards ceremony. 

 

When asked why she had the names of 'Little Women' director Greta Gerwig, 'The Farewell's' Lulu Wang and others, sewn into her cape, Portman said she wanted to recognize the women in a 'subtle' way.

 

The Academy Awards' best director category was male dominated for the 87th time in the ceremony's 92 year history. 

 

This year's five contenders for best director announced on Monday were  Martin Scorsese for 'The Irishman,' Todd Phillips for 'Joker,' Sam Mendes for '1917,' Quentin Tarantino for 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' and Bong Joon-ho for 'Parasite.'

Yes.  Ditch merit for a quota system.  Try to attain the same lofty standards as the public services.
