And then the nominees’ male names were read and the camera showed each of their male faces, none of whom were Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, or Greta Gerwig, who directed Lady Bird, the movie that won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical and Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical. Appropriately and understandably, all five dudes looked a little deflated.

At home, and on Twitter, people loved it, finding Portman’s jab to be the perfect tag to a perfect evening.

The wild thing about Portman's gesture was the fabulous brass of it: by inserting those words into the award intro (rather than a winner's speech), she guaranteed that the next five shots would be the nominee's faces.

I wasn’t even paying attention. I just heard “here are all the male nominees” and knew we were at best director.

“And here are the all male nominees.” Natalie Portman being savage is everything I need in life. She’s perfect.

My 2018 mood board consists solely of the "bitch I'm gonna do it" and "bitch I did it" look on Natalie Portman's face pic.twitter.com/jXnCi2rpRy

Natalie Portman's Golden Globes stunt was so fierce that honestly, fuck anyone who says she can only play the white swan.

If you don't appreciate #NataliePortman's statement, you most likely are not a woman who's had to-do 3x as much as a man in her industry before she was recognized.
