On Monday morning, 2023 Golden Globes voters sent a strong message to female directors everywhere: better luck next year.
Indeed, this year’s Best Director lineup is exclusively male. To quote Natalie Portman, “And here are the all-male nominees”: James Cameron (“Avatar: The Way of Water”), Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (“Everything Everywhere All At Once”), Baz Luhrmann (“Elvis”), Martin McDonagh (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) and Steven Spielberg (“The Fabelmans”).
The complete shut-out of women couldn’t have come at a more head-scratching time, as filmmakers like Sarah Polley (“Women Talking”), Gina Prince-Bythewood (“The Woman King”), Maria Schrader (“She Said”) and Chinonye Chukwu (“Till”) are at the top of their games with movies that are considered Oscar front-runners in several major categories. Notably, the Globes did include Polley in their Best Screenplay category, where she’s the only female writer nominated.

BRUSSELS -- Cinema festivals and filmmaking competitions will be at the heart of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue, taking place throughout 2008, which aims to boost European understanding across languages, religions, and ethnic backgrounds.
The yearlong event will have a budget of 10 million euros ($14.5 million), in additiont o funds from EU capitals, to foster a variety of projects across Europe. These include seven flagship trans-European projects and 27 national projects involving culture, education, youth and citizenship.
The European Year Will Link with film festivals across the EU, aiming to offer special competitions for movies that promote the event's goals of "understanding, tolerance, solidarity and a sense of common destiny among people in Europe."
Another EU-wide project, "Stranger", involves thousands of youngsters from disadvantaged or minority groups producing one-minute-long films. It is linked to the oneminutesjr.org project, which showcases the 60-second movies, and will this year emphasize diversity and cultural understanding.
The intercultural blueprint also has named Cannes winners Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, "Persepolis"'s Iranian-born writer Marjane Satrapi, Romanian director Radu Mihaileanu and French singer Charles Aznavour as ambassadors
The program comes as many policymakers in Europe have raised fears that globalization will create a cultural "soup" that will grind down local ideas and traditions.

NEW YORK -- Disney-ABC Television Group and Cox Communications Inc. said Tuesday that they would test several technologies this fall, including allowing ABC's broadband player to appear on Cox's Website and testing ad-insertion technology within a VOD environment.
It will be the first time Disney-ABC has syndicated its broadband player, which it launched to great fanfare a year ago at NCTA's annual conference and is available not only on ABC.com but on about 80% of ABC's affiliated stations' Web sites. Cox.net will be another site for the broadband player that gives users the ability to watch episodes of several ABC shows.
Cox.net Will Link to the ABC site, which is where the ABC broadband player will run so that ABC can keep control over it.
Cox and ABC will also team up for dynamic ad insertion on the video on demand platform when that technology gets up and running later this year or early next year.
