Shooting star: Glasgow Film Festival co-director Allan Hunter pays tribute to director Ida Lupino, who blazed a trail for women in Hollywood
GRETA Gerwig made history last month by becoming the first woman to be nominated for a Best Director Oscar since 2010. There are only four other women to achieve that honour in the Academy’s 90-year history – Lina Wertmuller, Jane Campion, Sofia Coppola and Kathryn Bigelow. Shortly before that, Barbra Streisand took to twitter to ask why not a single woman had won the Golden Globe for Best Director since she had won it for Yentl 34 years ago.
