Controversy erupted when the 2023 Oscar nominations were announced and no women were named in the race for best director. “There’s clearly a very big gap for women filmmakers in our industry,” Zhao said. The “Eternals” director said Hollywood needs to do a better job at increasing the visibility of women who are nominated for awards and funding more women-led projects. “We’re not doing it for awards, but that does help for the longevity of careers,” she said.“The genre inspires the next generation and young people to be scientists one day,” she said.
