Meryl Streep said Hollywood is giving female directors more opportunities to tell their own stories ? and the green light is coming from younger decision-makers, not grey-faced studio execs. The Oscar-winning actress, taking time away from being jury president at the Berlin Film Festival to give an acting master class on Sunday, was asked whether women were getting more directing gigs in Hollywood. Streep earlier in the Berlin festival faced criticism for suggesting "we are all Africans really" when asked about concerns over the all-white Oscar nominations this year.
