As we commemorate our fifth year as an organization, we have decided to combine our Best Female Director and Best Male Director categories into a single category with a total of ten nominees. When the organization was created in 2016, we made a concerted effort to highlight and embrace male and female filmmakers equally with their own category. Over these past five years, the industry has begun to make progress as more underrepresented voices are being given the opportunity to tell their stories on-screen. We as an organization couldn’t be happier to see this change, which is why we have decided to change our approach to the director category and allow for even more voices to be heard and celebrated.
