Anatomically Correct Oscar
Dear oh dear. In all the "extensive" media coverage I missed this one. It appears that some other women out there harbour aspirations to be half decent directors. Pretty bold. Maybe they're terrorists.

Here's some trivia. No woman has ever won the Best Director Oscar. Only two women have ever been nominated for the award. That's the same number of women listed in The Guardian's recently published article "Top 40 World's best directors" (Lynne Ramsay and Samia Makhmalbaf). This story is far more interesting IMHO but guess which piece ended up getting syndicated all the way to the Sydney Morning Herald. That's right, no anatomically correct Oscar. What's the story there?
