when I read the nominations. This is a HUGE snub, and an insult to all women. I have no doubt there will be some comments, if not speeches, about this at the awards. Kudos to Gosling for speaking out, but he shouldn't have had to. This was Oscar-worthy!

I went to the theater to see this with my daughter (yes, we wore pink) and we both thought it was an stunning achievement by Greta Gerwig, and especially because people (women anyway) were responding with such enthusiasm. It struck a note, a note that evidently offended some powerful men in Hollywood. Unforgivable.

Thanks for posting this, niyad.
