The 44-year-old actress, who was nominated for her role in Bombshell, said that it’s “really ridiculous” that no female directors are up for an award.
“It’s tough. It’s really, really tough. And I think it gets really frustrating when we we have to remember that women directors, especially, are just trying to get their numbers up. They represent 10% of our directors in the industry, and when you have a good year like we had this year with such great work, it is incredibly frustrating,” Charlize told the LA Times.
She continued, “No woman wants to get nominated because it’s the right thing to do. It’s really, really ridiculous. It’s not cool. It’s really hard, and I think it’s unfair, and it’s why we can’t stop this fight. We gotta keep making noise until we’re heard and these stories get recognized.”
Vanna White has made her debut as the host of Wheel of Fortune and you can watch a clip from the episode right here!
The 62-year-old television personality is stepping into host Pat Sajak‘s shoes for the first time after 37 years with the show. He is taking a three-week leave of absence after having emergency surgery for a blocked intestine.
Vanna says she was shocked when she was asked to be the temporary host.
“I’ve never even thought of that in 37 years, and to be asked almost on the spot, ‘How do you feel about hosting the show?’ Like, what?!” she told the New York Times last week.
When asked if she had any nerves, Vanna said, “Oh, my gosh, that’s an understatement. I was very nervous.”
“Normally I just stand there and I turn my letters, and I’m just happy as can be not having to worry about anything else,” she added. “But here I am controlling the game. So logistically, it was much harder. But I know every aspect of the game, which helped so much.”

On growing up in the spotlight: “I think me being under the age of 18 and starting as a ‘child actor,’ that is such a buzzword now. When you think of child actors, you think, ‘He goes to crazy parties and hangs out with all the hottest stars at the club.’ I don’t care about all the things that come with it, like the weird Instagram followers. I appreciate it, but I’m not in it for that.”
On being a filmmaker: “All my favorite directors and comedians are provocateurs, and they all test the boundaries. Hopefully as a flmmaker, I can portray what I want to portray in my movies and dance around the line and be able to say what I want with my art.”
On finding his first job on Craigslist: “There’s a young band from Vancouver and I did one of their first music videos. It was my first job. After that, I just loved being on set so much. It comes from me wanting to make friends all over the world. There’s no point in being a dick and trying to make enemies. That’s just so much harder to do.”
