Well, Greta Gerwig directed Little Women which was good enough (in the voters' eyes) to get a Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay (for Gerwig herself), Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nomination. Considering how many of the 'top' awards the film itself was nominated for and that she was the driving force behind the film in that she wrote it as well it is unlucky she didn't get nominated. She likely only just missed out.

I think Lulu Wang is unlucky that The Farewell didn't get anything but that's not as a big a snub. It's really Gerwig not getting the nomination that people will be surprised/focused on.

Parasite is interesting though considering how many of the other awards it's in. Could be the first foreign film to win?
