If you think “Barbie” is done receiving Ken-ough awards this season, think again. Director Greta Gerwig has been selected to receive the Director of the Year Award from the Palm Springs International Film Awards, positioning the first woman to direct a billion-dollar-grossing film to even greater stature.
Recent recipients of this awards include Oscar winners Sarah Polley (“Women Talking”), Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”) and Chloe Zhao (“Nomadland”). Gerwig was last nominated in the Best Director category at the Oscars for her 2017 film “Lady Bird,” which also netted her a Best Original Screenplay nomination. She remains one of only seven women to ever receive a nomination for Best Director.
