Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Hannah Lux Davis are up for awards for best direction at the MTV's 2020 Video Music Awards, marking the first time in history three women are simultaneously nominated in the category without male collaborators.
Both Davis and Swift were nominated in the category last year — Davis for directing Grande's"Thank U, Next" video and Swift for co-directing"You Need To Calm Down" alongside Drew Kirsch — but they ultimately lost to Calmatic, who directed the video for Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus'"Old Town Road ."
The last time three women were up for awards in the best direction category together was 2005, but two of the three women were nominated alongside male collaborators. Missy Elliot was nominated alongside Dave Meyers for"Lose Control" and Diane Martel was nominated with Francis Lawrence for Jennifer Lopez's"Get It Right" video. Floria Sigismondi was the only woman that year to be nominated by herself for directing The White Stripes'"Blue Orchid.
Mary Lambert was the first woman to be nominated in the best direction category for Chris Isaak’s “Dancin" in 1984, but the first woman to win in the category was Valerie Faris. Faris directed The Smashing Pumpkins' video"Tonight, Tonight" with her husband, Jonathan Dayton, and shares the accolade with him. Melina Matsoukas, who directed Beyoncé's"Formation" was the first woman to win the award without a co-director in 2016.
