To nobody's surprise, the plot of Little Women is centreed on women, which accounts for one of the criteria for Standard A ("The main storyline(s), theme or narrative of the film is centreed on an underrepresented group(s)"). Add with distributor Sony Pictures's internship and trainee programs and you have two requirements met! As an admirer of Greta Gerwig's cogent and sincere adaptation of Louisa Alcott's novel, I'm glad to see it would still make the list of nominees.
