191. A Tribute to Sofia Coppola: The First and Only Woman to Win an Oscar for Best Director

Published: March 8, 2021, 6 p.m.

In honor of respecting and highlighting people and moments that have broken glass ceilings and barriers, we would like to pay tribute to Sofia Coppola, the first and only female director to win an Oscar for Best Director for her film 'The Hurt Locker'.  Sofia Coppola has been described as \u201csoft-spoken but in control\u201d on set, a directing style that is clearly reflected in her films. Coppola has carved out a path in Hollywood not only as a talented, critically-acclaimed female director, but one who is also able to make the films she wishes to (unfortunately, still a rather uncommon opportunity for women in the industry). Coppola has always favored smaller, indie-style films that give her creative control over her stories. These showcase female perspectives and Coppola\u2019s distinct style of muted, pastel colors, natural light, and themes of isolation and loneliness.\t
