I'll start with the cast because how can't I? Putting that discussion aside, let's focus on the positive aspects of Little Women because there are many! Usually, romance isn't a genre I tend to love, but I really enjoyed this adaptation of Alcott 's famous novel. With that said, do I suddenly become a misogynist? Do I always favor men when I send my own ballots to the OFTA Awards, for example? I don't think so. Even removing Todd Phillips ( Joker) out of the equation (which I entirely accept), I would definitely choose Noah Baumbach ( Marriage Story) as his replacement. While I do agree that Gerwig does a great job in directing this movie, I still believe that the five male directors nominated for the respective Oscar did an even better one. Now, I'm going to be as polite, respectful, and fair as I can. The lack of a female nominee across a few award shows raised some discontent, and most considered Gerwig 's work to be more than enough to warrant more nominations, especially at the Academy Awards. There's been a lot of controversy surrounding the Best Director category, way beyond just the Oscars. Well, Greta Gerwig 's adaptation of the famous book isn't able to crack a spot in my Top10, but it's definitely worth an honorable mention. I really want to watch every Best Picture nominee before the 92nd Academy Awards not only to provide my honest predictions but also to have a Top10: Best Movies of 2019 more complete regarding the number of films watched.
