The Academy Awards was an evening to celebrate for women all over as Kathryn Bigelow shattered the glass ceiling and became the first woman to take home a Best Director award. Even as we celebrated Kathryn and all the Oscar nominees, however, we note the missing women in film. Multiple categories didn’t even have one woman represented, and recent studies has shown women losing ground – women directors sliding to a mere 7% in 2009 and a mere 8% of writers.

Women’s Media Center was covering the Academy Awards. Here are our tweets from our Oscar party!
