It remains to be seen if any female directors earn a nomination for Best Director at the Oscars in 2025. The Best Director Oscar has been a part of the annual Academy Awards ceremony since the event began in 1929, though in the first year it was presented as a pair of awards split between the “Comedy” and “Drama” categories. Although the Academy Awards present prizes in a wide – and growing – variety of categories, Best Director is considered one of the “Big Five” awards, a group that also includes the Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay Oscars.
