Five filmmakers were nominated for the Academy Award for best director this year – but one of them is not like the others. Justine Triet is the only woman nominated in the category this year and the "Anatomy of a Fall" director is only the eighth woman to earn a best director nomination from the Academy.
The French filmmaker also wrote the film, which earned five Oscar nominations total, including best picture and best original screenplay. She is known for the 2019 film "Sybil," which earned attention at the Cannes Film Festival that year.
"Anatomy of a Fall" is a French-language film about a writer put on trial for her husband's murder. It received four Golden Globe nominations, winning best screenplay and best motion picture — non-English language. Triet also won the Palme d'Or – the highest prize at the Cannes Film Festival – for the film.
Triet, 45, is nominated for the best director Oscar alongside Martin Scorsese for "Killers of the Flower Moon," Jonathan Glazer for "The Zone of Interest," Yorgos Lanthimos for "Poor Things" and Christopher Nolan for "Oppenheimer."
Triet has co-written films with her husband, Arthur Harari – including "Anatomy of a Fall" and "Sybil" – and would share the award for best original screenplay with him if they won.
Triet is the only woman nominated for best director this year – which is a rare occurrence. Only seven other women have been nominated in this category before, and only three have won: Jane Campion, who was nominated twice and won in 2021, Chloé Zhao, who won in 2020, and Kathryn Bigelow, who won in 2009.
