2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Polley, "Women Talking" director:
++PARTIALLY COVERED++
"I think something's changing. I mean, certainly that obnoxious auteur who knows everything and is dictatorial and takes credit for everything still exists. But I think it's diminishing. And when you see people like the Daniels, it's a very different model. And they've spent this entire awards season shining light on other people's films and on my film and really sharing the light and being conscious of how they move through the world and how to be generous. So I kind of feel like there's enough models of hope for people of all genders right now that I think that that's fading."
3. The Daniels posing with Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu and Ke Huy Quan
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Sian Heder, "Coda" director:
(On why there are so few women directors)
"You know, doing this (being a chair of Film Independent) chairing with Chloe, there are only three female helmed films that have ever won best picture in like 94 years of the Oscars. And we're two of them. And that's just such a weird thing, you know, because I think we're half the population. You know, women have been making movies for a long time and hopefully things are changing, but it's slower than it should be."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sian Heder, "Coda" director:
"I do think when it comes to giving yourself credit, women tend to like give a lot of credit to their crew and their collaborators. And there's less of like, 'I made this movie and I made it all alone and like, you should worship me because it was all me.' You know, I think there's less of that. And so maybe when it comes to awards or recognition, it's a little bit like, you know, women aren't claiming that auteurship mantle in the same way that men are. So I have no idea if that's it. But, you know, maybe we all need to walk around with a little more bravado and be (dicks-AUDIO DROP) about it all."
