Year : 2, Issue : 10
The Oscars will be given out one week from Sunday in Hollywood after what’s being called a great year for movies.
The biggest hit of last year, “Barbie,” is up for eight awards and another blockbuster, “Oppenheimer,” leads the field with 13 nominations. “Poor Things” goes in with 11 nominations, while “Killers of the Flower Moon” has 10.
All of these movies earned recognition for the powerful women who star in them.
One definition of an “alpha female” is a strong and successful woman who embraces her leadership skills, and those words can be used to describe the roles played by this year’s female nominees.
To think pink is to feel empowered thanks to “Barbie,” the first movie directed by a woman to earn more than a billion dollars.
“When I first read the script, I was just so giddy with how it subverted anyone’s expectations of what a ‘Barbie’ movie might be or try to be,” said actress America Ferrera.
Ferrera’s monologue in the film proved truly memorable, and she is only one of many strong women who are front and center in this year’s Oscars race.
