Barbra Streisand: Sexism Cost Me Multiple Oscar Nominations



Sexism cost her Oscar nominations for “Yentl” and “The Prince of Tides”, Streisand’s name was left off the director’s short list

* men and older people don’t want to see a woman director.
* jealousy and competitiveness are partly to blame for women turning on one of their own gender.
* female critics were harsher than their male counterparts to “Yentl.”
* being overlooked focused attention on discrimination towards women.
* Was hurt by the snubs, and didn’t want to direct for years.
* Not enough women are directing now.
* wanted to just focus on acting and recording but decided to direct because she couldn’t be heard.
