He added, “I’m ashamed to say that I’m part of the problem… I have not done everything in my power to ensure that the sets I work on are inclusive.”
Rebel Wilson, who presented the award for Best Director, also commented on the lack of female filmmakers in the category. “I look at the exceptional, daring talent nominated in this category and I don’t think I could do what they do,” Wilson quipped before announcing the all-male nominees. “Honestly, I just don’t have the balls.”
