We had three women in this category -- Chloe Zhao for *Nomadland*, Regina King for *One Night in Miami*, and Emerald Fennell for *Promising Young Woman*. It would be a delight if the Oscars took note.

Chloe did not have on her knit cap for the telecast itself; this shot is from the virtual press room. But I might love it and want one for my own cold noggin. I wish we could see what she IS wearing. I'm sure it's perfectly cromulent. Here are her cohorts:

I keep thinking that David Fincher is Bradley Whitford. Emerald -- who wrote AND directed *Promising Young Woman* \-- up on the left looks very Parker-Bowlesian (edited to add: We got pictures, which I added at the bottom of this post! Hang tight!), which is appropriate, as that's who she plays on *The Crown*. And that whole crew in the bottom left is the Aaron Sorkin Gang; he's got his daughter with him right up front there. His screenplay won -- I did not read great things about this movie; was that an upset, do we think, or a case of, "Hey, I know that name, he made The West Wing, CLICK"? -- but he lost out here, which seems correct. Also I assume all these large groups Covid-tested?!? Olivia Munn was there at his house and I cannot imagine she's been in a yearlong Covid bubble with Aaron Sorkin. Everyone just stay safe!

Regina King up there[ looked marvelous in Louis Vuitton](https://www.instagram.com/p/CL3FK14gB3q/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io):

That is precise and *so* pretty. Why is LV doing some of its best work when it's so much harder for us to see it?!?

And here is what we got of Emerald:

I don't know where she is, but it's impressive. Her dress just read on TV like a plain old whatever, so I'm glad and sad to see it's not quite so mumsy -- glad because she deserved a big fancy night, and sad because we didn't get the feel of it at all on the telecast.

I wish she'd figured out how to do the whole show from up there.
