When you and your spouse are both filmmakers, things can get a little complicated—especially when both of your projects receive Academy Award nominations in the same year, in the same category. For Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, the two decided to back their own work when it came to voting for the award winners in 2020.
In a new interview with New York Times, Gerwig shares that she and her spouse decided to vote for their own films in lieu of any other options. Both her adaptation of Little Women and Baumbach’s Marriage Story garnered six Oscar nominations, including for Best Picture.
