DGA Nominates White Men, Variety Proclaims Diversity
Someone at Variety must have gotten very low SAT scores to write this headline:
Diverse crowd for DGA nominations
about 6 white guys nominated for best director of a feature film:
Paul Thomas Anderson - There Will Be Blood
Joel Coen & Ethan Coen - No Country for Old Men
Tony Gilroy - Michael Clayton
Sean Penn - Into the Wild
Julian Schnabel - The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Actually DGA president Michael Apted, another known white male, is responsible for the "diversity" theme, as he noted that the nominated films were a diverse selection without any major studio blockbusters, such as last year's winner The Departed. But that's not quite what the headline says, now is it?
