This year presents a unique situation where female filmmakers like Jane Campion, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Hall and Siân Heder have also penned the top awards contenders for adapted screenplay
it’ll be the most female-written films recognized since 1991, which included “Europa Europa” , “Fried Green Tomatoes” and “The Prince of Tides” . If all four manage to receive noms, it would be the most in Academy history, as well as the most that have been directed by women., whose previous nominees have a solid translation to Academy attention. Heder, who wasn’t nominated, was ineligible because “CODA” is a remake of an international feature and not based on a previously published work.
For comparison, there have been five years in which three female-written films have been recognized in original screenplay . 2007 was also the only time that three women, with sole writing credits, were nominated in the same category . Two sole women writers have never won both screenplay categories .
Gyllenhaal would be the third woman ever to be recognized for acting and screenplay categories, behind Oscar winners Ruth Gordon and Emma Thompson. Only the latter won acting and screenplay categories for best actress for “Howard’s End” and “Sense and Sensibility,” respectively. Gyllenhaal has one previous Oscar nom in supporting actress for “Crazy Heart” .
Campion, who won original screenplay for “The Piano” , would be the first woman to ever be nominated in both screenplay categories. A reminder that a directing nod for Campion for “Dog” would mark the first woman director to be nominated twice since she became the second woman to ever be nominated in ’93.
