CORALIE FARGEAT FOR THE SUBSTANCE
This is the first win and third nomination for Coralie Fargeat. She was also nominated this year for screenwriting and editing The Substance (2024).
Since seeing The Substance for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival in May of this year I knew this film was something special and just watching the film go from win to win in the months that passed between then and now has been such a delight to witness. Coralie Fargeat was a director whose first film I saw a few years ago and enjoyed absolutely blew away any expectations I might've had from her to make something so fabulous.
Fargeat and her whole team were clearly unafraid to embrace gore, outlandishness and just overall embracing excess. Fargeat has established herself as a director to watch and truly the film was made so fantastically that I look forward to watching whatever she will do next. I almost don't want to describe what makes Fargeat's director so great especially for those who've not seen the film. I just recommend watching the film because it is a wild ride and sure to be one of the major titles most associated with the film year of 2024.
