Barbra Streisand: Sexism Cost Me Multiple Oscar Nominations https://t.co/A3sI4RgEr2
— Variety (@Variety) April 30, 2017
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.
