Ruth Bader Ginsburg Reacts to Oscar Nomination for ‘RBG’
The star of one of the year’s biggest documentaries is a night owl, not an early riser, and probably had other things on her mind on Tuesday morning than her Oscar chances. So it fell to Betsy West and Julie Cohen, the directors of the documentary “RBG,” to tell Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg that the film was nominated.
They called her at her Watergate apartment, where she is working from home. Justice Ginsburg congratulated the filmmakers and said the academy acknowledgment was “eminently well-deserved,” they reported, barely suppressing their glee at getting to share the news with her.
“She sounded good, strong,” West said, as the justice recovers from her recent cancer surgery. “She was very happy.” And she has been following the blockbuster success of the film, so she couldn’t have been too surprised. (As a crowd-pleaser, it may even be the front-runner in the documentary category.)
