"She would like to change Oscar to a feminine name. She would like to call it ‘Anna,'" translated Rossellini. The director launched a chant: “Women in the room, please scream, 'We want Anna, a female Oscar!'"Wertmüller then dedicated her “Anna” to her daughter and husband. Campion additionally drove home sobering statistics, noting 350 men have been nominated for best director. “I’ve been asked to talk about the history of women in the directing category. It’s a very short history. More of a haiku,” she said.
Four-time Oscar nominated director David Lynch, 73, saw his first statuette Sunday night, too, after a career spanning productions from “The Elephant Man and “Twin Peaks” to"Eraserhead" and “Mulholland Drive.” “I'd simply like to say, it’s about time," said Studi, 71."It's been a wild and wonderful ride, and I'm really proud to be here tonight as the first indigenous Native American to receive an Academy Award. It's a humbling honor to receive an award for something I love to do." Studi then closed his speech in Cherokee.
