Oscar nominations 2024: Justine Triet becomes 8th woman ever nominated for best director
Five filmmakers were nominated for the Academy Award for best director this year – but one of them is not like the others. Justine Triet is the only woman nominated in the category this year and the “Anatomy of a Fall” director is only the eighth woman to earn a best director nomination from the Academy.
Who is Justine Triet?
The French filmmaker also wrote the film, which earned five Oscar nominations total, including best picture and best original screenplay. She is known for the 2019 film “Sybil,” which earned attention at the Cannes Film Festival that year.
“Anatomy of a Fall” is a French-language film about a writer put on trial for her husband’s murder. It received four Golden Globe nominations, winning best screenplay and best motion picture — non-English language. Triet also won the Palme d’Or – the highest prize at the Cannes Film Festival – for the film.
Triet, 45, is nominated for the best director Oscar alongside Martin Scorsese for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Jonathan Glazer for “The Zone of Interest,” Yorgos Lanthimos for “Poor Things” and Christopher Nolan for “Oppenheimer.”
Triet has co-written films with her husband, Arthur Harari – including “Anatomy of a Fall” and “Sybil” – and would share the award for best original screenplay with him if they won.
List of women nominated for Academy Award for best director
Triet is the only woman nominated for best director this year – which is not a rare occurrence. Only seven other women have been nominated in this category before, and only three have won: Jane Campion, who was nominated twice and won in 2021, Chloé Zhao, who won in 2020, and Kathryn Bigelow, who won in 2009.
1977 Lina Wertmüooer, “Seven Beauties” – Nominated
1993 Jane Campion, “The Piano” – Nominated
2003 Sofia Coppola, “Lost in Translation – Nominated
2009 Kathryn Bigelow, “The Hurt Locker – Winner
2017 Greta Gerwig, “Lady Bird” – Nominated
2020 Chloé Zhao, “Nomadland’ – Winner
2020 Emerald Fennell, “Promising Young Woman,” – Nominated
2021 Jane Campion, “The Power of the Dog,” – Winner
Greta Gerwig, who directed the blockbuster “Barbie” movie, was snubbed by the Academy despite receiving Golden Globe nominations for best director and best original screenplay. The film received seven Oscar nominations this year.
Lina Wertmüooer became the first woman to win in the category a whopping 47 years after the Oscars began — and it took another 32 years before a second woman, Kathryn Bigelow. won.

Former New York Gov. David Paterson, stepson attacked while walking in New York City
NEW YORK — Former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were attacked in New York City on Friday night, authorities said.
The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. on Second Avenue near East 96th Street on the Upper East Side, according to the New York City Police Department.
Police said officers were sent to the scene after an assault was reported. When officers arrived, police say they found a 20-year-old man suffering from facial injuries and a 70-year-old man who had head pain. Both victims were taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the former governor said the two were attacked while “taking a walk around the block near their home by some individuals that had a previous interaction with his stepson.”
The spokesperson said that they were injured “but were able to fight off their attackers.”
Both were taken to Cornell Hospital “as a precaution,” he added.
Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
The 70-year-old Paterson, a Democrat, served as governor from 2008 to 2010, stepping into the post after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer following his prostitution scandal. He made history at the time as the state’s first-ever Black and legally blind governor.

Teen critically wounded in shooting on Philadelphia bus; one person in custody
A 17-year-old boy was critically injured and a person is in custody after a gunman opened fire on a SEPTA bus in North Philadelphia Friday evening, police said.
At around 6:15 p.m., Philadelphia police were notified about a shooting on a SEPTA bus traveling on Allegheny Avenue near 3rd and 4th streets in North Philadelphia, Inspector D F Pace told CBS News Philadelphia.
There were an estimated 30 people on the bus at the time of the shooting, Pace said, but only the 17-year-old boy was believed to have been shot. Investigators said they believe it was a targeted attack on the teenager and that he was shot in the back of the bus at close range.
According to Pace, the SEPTA bus driver alerted a control center about the shooting, which then relayed the message to Philadelphia police, who responded to the scene shortly.
Officers arrived at the scene and found at least one spent shell casing and blood on the bus, but no shooting victim, Pace said. Investigators later discovered the 17-year-old had been taken to Temple University Hospital where he is said to be in critical condition, according to police.
Through their preliminary investigation, police learned those involved in the SEPTA shooting may have fled in a silver-colored Kia.
Authorities then found a car matching the description of the Kia speeding in the area and a pursuit began, Pace said. Police got help from a PPD helicopter as they followed the Kia, which ended up crashing at 5th and Greenwood streets in East Mount Airy. Pace said the Kia crashed into a parked car.
The driver of the crashed car ran away but police were still able to take them into custody, Pace said.
Investigators believe there was a second person involved in the shooting who ran from the car before it crashed. Police said they believe this person escaped near Allegheny Avenue and 4th Street, leaving a coat behind.
According to Pace, police also found a gun and a group of spent shell casings believed to be involved in the shooting in the same area.
“It’s very possible that there may have been a shooting inside the bus and also shots fired from outside of the bus toward the bus,” Pace said, “We’re still trying to piece all that together at this time.”
This is an active investigation and police are reviewing surveillance footage from the SEPTA bus.
