But on a more disappointing (though not unexpected) note, only one of those women earned a nomination for best director.
"Barbie," "Anatomy of a Fall," and "Past Lives" will all compete for best picture at the Oscars in March.
The snubs for Greta Gerwig, who helmed the billion-dollar box-office hit "Barbie," and "Past Lives" director Celine Song are notable.
Gerwig's first three solo films as a director — "Lady Bird", "Little Women," and "Barbie" — were all good enough to make the best picture cut.
But to this day, only one has ever gotten her in the best director running.
