Maybe they were 10 years ago, but they were at the forefront of wanting to be inclusive of all things important. Viola Davis and the Headmistress must sit down, shut up, and rest. You didn’t get nominated — a lot of movies don’t get nominated. Viola, you’ve got a couple of Oscars, you’re good.’
Responding to the article, Gina simply wrote on Twitter: “I will now only respond to ‘that lady director’ and ‘that lady director’.”
