Kogonada for Columbus
Francis Lee for God’s Own Country
Greta Gerwig for Lady Bird
Olivier Assayas for Personal Shopper
Paul Thomas Anderson for Phantom Thread
AND THE WINNER IS:
GRETA GERWIG FOR LADY BIRD
This is the first win and third nomination for Greta Gerwig, She was nominated for writing and acting in the ensemble of Frances Ha (2013).
Greta is a wonderful screenwriter as she takes her time between projects. She has talked in many places of the origins of this project, turning an over 300 page script to the 90 minute movie that it ended up being and still presenting well rounded characters is a skill. We rarely see coming of age female films so to see one this great made the film even greater. The narrative moved at the perfect pace and that has to be attributed to Gerwig. Also I must praise her for creating the character of Lady Bird who is one of the most unique characters created in recent memory. She may not be the most dramatic or comedic character but she acts and speaks in a way that is much more different then any character her age would.
