Natalie Portman took a chance to make a dig at the Golden Globes on Sunday (7 January) night, while on-stage at the Golden Globes.

The ‘Black Swan’ star was presenting the Best Director of a Motion Picture award, alongside Ron Howard, when she made a simple yet effective statement on the shortlist.

Introducing the five people nominated, Natalie said: “And here are the all-male nominees.”

Ron Howard: "We are honored ... to be here to present the award for best director."

Natalie was met with plenty of applause, both from the A-listers in the room and fans tuning in at home - including Shonda Rimes(!):

AND HERE ARE THE ALL-MALE NOMINEES

And then my girl #NataliePortman names the all “male” nominees for best director! Preach!

.#NataliePortmxn 's brilliant "all-male nominees" remark was especially sweet because Ron Howard so obnoxiously tried to end the powerful post-#Oprah moment of reckoning.

When two tiny words inserted in a pre-written sentence are as powerful as any speech: the "all-male" list of directing nominees. Thank you, Natalie Portman.

"And here are the all male nominees." Natalie Portman calls it for what it is.

Guillermo del Toro was then announced as the winner, for his film ‘The Shape of Water’ - which is one of the many Golden Globes-winning movies that still isn’t out in the UK.

Other winners in the film categories included James Franco, for his work in ‘The Disaster Artist’, and ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’.
