Even though Ruffalo's movie 'The Kids Are All Right' won the Golden Globe for Best Comedy, Reuters reports that the actor is none too pleased the film's female director Lisa Cholodenko, and all other female directors, were shut out of the Directors Guild feature film nominations.
"I would just like to say to the (motion picture) academy members: why don't you grow a pair and vote for Lisa Cholodenko as well!" Ruffalo said backstage.
Ruffalo's costar Annette Bening, who won a Golden Globe for best performance in a comedy, agreed.
"I thought [Cholodenko] deserved all those nominations as well," she said. "Very often, good directors aren't calling attention to themselves in their filmmaking. Oftentimes, they're less recognized by because of that."
