Even if you’re not familiar with Kathryn Bigelow as a celebrity, you definitely know her work.
And that’s not even her full resume, just a sampling.
Before breaking into film, the California native explored being a professional artist.
Bigelow shared withVogue France, “I love art, I will always like painting.”
However, she argued, “These art forms exist in a secluded world.
What is exciting about movies is that they transcend class boundaries.
They offer a collective experience that can transport you, highlight issues and even force the viewer to reflect.
That is the beauty of cinema this capacity to penetrate the subconscious.”
Happily, Bigelow fought hard for her spot and made history in the process.
Bigelow is the first woman to win an Oscar in the top category.
Both Zhao and Campion won the award, perNPR.
The prolific filmmaker has continued to work extensively in the subsequent years, both as a producer and director.
