Twitterati can't get enough of Natalie Portman's savage dig at the Golden Globes

In the midst of women-driven awards, Portman called out the "all-male nominees" of the Best Director category

In a sharp remark, Natalie Portman called out the "all-male nominees" of the Best Director category at the 75th Golden Globe Awards where talk on woman power was at the centre stage.

Portman took the stage here on Sunday with actor, film-maker Ron Howard to present the award. After Howard introduced the category they would be presenting, Portman remarked, "And here are the all-male nominees."

Guillermo del Toro, Martin McDonagh, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg were contenders for Best Director in a year which had female directors like Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) and Dee Rees (Mudbound).
