Reactions to Bigelow's Oscar have been split between satisfaction and frustration.
Canadian female directors had won in the past, but Skogland’s was the first nomination for an action film. She won a Genie for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Gender and Academy Awards
Meyer was the film producer and writer for blockbusters such as Saving Private Ryan [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Baby Boom, or Father of the Bride. Later, she directed Something’s Gotta Give, What Women Want, and It’s Complicated, which have since become new classic romantic comedies.
