Barbra Streisand says sexism cost her multiple Oscar nominations over the years. Variety reports Streisand told director Robert Rodriguez during an interview Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York that "there were a lot of older people" who didn't want to see a woman director. She tells Rodriguez that even some female critics targeted her because of her gender. Streisand's "Yentl" was nominated for five Academy Awards in 1984.
