International Women's Day / Kathryn Bigelow

Can I just say how delightful it is to wake up on International Women's Day to hear that Kathryn Bigelow has won the Academy Award for Best Director.

I don't want to make a big deal out of it because that would be defeating the object. But suffice to say, it is a truly wonderful thing that the sturdiest of all glass ceilings has been shattered on this most special of days. But as I say, let's not make too big  a deal of it and calmly look forward to many more women winning the coveted award over coming years.

And, anyway, it's not all good news. Sandra Bullock won for playing a Republican... sympathetically. In what is quite possibly the most racist film since The Birth Of A Nation.

Can't have it all.

Happy International Women's Day.
