In introducing the nominees for best picture _ drama, Barbra Streisand seemed astonished that she remains the only woman to have won a Golden Globe for best director. Ever. That's in 75 years.
Streisand took home the best director award for "Yentl" in 1984. This year, there was not a single female director nominated in that category.
"You know... that was 34 years ago?" Streisand said at Sunday's ceremony. "Folks, time's up."
In fact, women have been nominated in the director category only seven times since 1943. Those nominees are Streisand (who, besides her '84 win, was also nominated in 1991 for "The Prince of Tides"), Jane Campion (1993 for "The Piano"), Sofia Coppola (2003 for "Lost in Translation"), Kathryn Bigelow (who, along with Streisand, was nominated twice, once in 2009 for "The Hurt Locker" and again in 2012 for "Zero Dark Thirty") and Ava DuVernay (nominated in 2014 for "Selma").
