Let’s Gooooo

Finally

She wasn't denied anything. The movie was sophomoric and didn't deserve any accolades. MOST Critics even hated it.

CONGRATULATIONS

Go get em Ava!!!

🙌🏻 sooo well deserved!

All the director who's nominated that year did an amazing job and they really deserve the nomination more than her, so please let us focus about the art and the creativity and leave the race out of it.

film was mediocre at best. Only got acclaim cause of the worthy subject matter!

Denied? What kind of race baiting headline is that?

We have to be very careful that race does not qualify you to win an Oscar. Otherwise, ALL sports teams need to give up 90% of their players to more whites, Hispanics, and Asians.

Put some RESPECT on ava !!!

She's a good story teller and documentarista. A very average director for fiction movies. I'm not denying they had given Oscars to several most mediocre male directors than her of course.

She should maybe make a documentary about why she fangurls Harvey Weinstein, together with her buddy Oprah.

So proud of Ava! If you haven’t seen 13th, Selma and When They See Us. Plus know your history. You won’t get her. Like at. All. That’s your work to do.

Alejandro González Iñárritu won best director that year. A Mexican.

Maybe she should make a documentary about this.

She falls all over OPrah.. Climber

Selma was that good Yes it was a powerful movie but nothing special about the directing But If Todd Philips got a nom for joker She should have gotten a nom too

She’s a mediocre film “director”. But I guess mediocrity is rewarded.

Awful director but an elite status climber
