I hope that what was intended as a simple nod to them does not distract from their great achievements.”
Portman corrected the record in her own comments, noting that she has collaborated with female filmmakers on “shorts, commercials, music videos and features.” She named Marya Cohn, Mira Nair, Rebecca Zlotowski, Anna Rose Holmer, Sofia Coppola, Shirin Neshat “and myself.”
