Congratulating: Barbara Kopple on her Primetime Emmy nomination for her documentary Running From Crazy.
Admiring: NWWIFT Muse honoree Robin Wright’s performance in A Most Wanted Man. Phillip Seymour Hoffman also gives a stunning last performance in the film.
Agreeing; with Melissa Silverstein’s Open Letter to Sony Chief Amy Pascal encouraging her to hire a women director for the female superhero movie in the Spider-man franchise.
