Actor Carey Mulligan has criticised award shows for not giving female directors equal space in nominations as their male colleagues. The actor also called out the "Star Wars" franchise's lack of female directors. "If Dee Rees was a white man she'd be directing the next 'Star Wars,' she'd be nominated for an Oscar without question," Mulligan told Variety at the Sundance Film Festival.
