Critics highlight trailblazing women and first-time female directors.
Mae West, seen here in"I'm No Angel," not only starred in a string of hit movies but also wrote many of the scripts as well as the songs.
In 1927, prior to Hollywood, she was arrested for writing and performing in a play called"Sex" in which she played a sex worker — she always loved the fringes of society. She was charged with obscenity and behavior designed to"corrupt the morals of youth." West could have paid a fine and been let off, but she chose jail time to reap the publicity. While incarcerated, she supposedly dined with the warden and had her silky lingerie smuggled in.
For best new woman director, Pithavala chose Chloe Domont for her debut feature"Fair Play." In the film, Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich play a couple who are in a relationship that they have to hide at a cutthroat hedge fund company.
