Mark Ruffalo is up in arms over last night's Golden Globes, but Ricky Gervais isn't the one to blame.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."

Ruffalo is a bad actor. His performance in 2000's "You Can Count on Me" was so god awful and distracting that it prevented Laura Linney from winning the Best Actress Oscar from the lackluster performance by Julia Roberts in "Erin Brockovich".

You're crazy. He's a brilliant actor. Remarkable work in "the Kids Are Alright" as always.
Hey Mark, how did your movie do???? Why don't you grow a pair and take better roles ???

Lisa Cholodenko came into the movie facility I work at, and I thought her attitude was less than pleasant. So I can't feel sorry for her.

Lisa Cholodenko is brilliant as a writer and director. She should have been up their with the other great directors. You're right Mark and Annette....hollywood is still a mans world. And the producer who spoke instead of Lisa was a joke. I don't know how he could have taken so much credit for the film when we know this was Lisa's baby. Long Live and continue the great work Lisa many of us in the public know you and how brilliant you are.

Mark is a wonderful actor. It's too bad you don't know what good acting is.
