Justine Triet is the first French woman to win Best Original Screenplay and/or Best Director
Triet is already only the eighth woman ever nominated for Best Director for Anatomy of a Fall, and the first French woman director ever nominated in the category, as well as Best Original S screenplay. If she wins Best Director or Best Original Screenplay, she’ll be, therefore, the first French woman to ever win either category. If she wins both categories: still a record!
The 96th Academy Awards air Sunday, March 9 at 7 pm ET on ABC.
