5 Who became the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director in 2017?
- Greta Gerwig
- Ava DuVernay
- Kathryn Bigelow
- Patty Jenkins
Correct!Wrong!Greta Gerwig was nominated for Best Director for 'Lady Bird' in 2018 (for the 2017 film year), but the first woman to win was Kathryn Bigelow in 2010. However, in 2017, no woman won; the award went to Guillermo del Toro for 'The Shape of Water'. This question is tricky: the correct answer is that no woman won in 2017. But since the question asks 'who became', the intended correct fact is that Greta Gerwig was nominated, but not win. To avoid confusion, let's adjust: Actually, in 2017 (89th Academy Awards), no female director won. The first woman to win was Kathryn Bigelow in 2010. So the correct answer is 'None' or similar. But given the options, I'll set 'Kathryn Bigelow' as correct because she was the first, but that was in 2010. Let me correct: The 2017 Oscars (for 2016 films) had no female Best Director winner. So I'll change the question to reflect a different fact. Let me redo this question. -
