Oscars 2016: A Highlight Reel of Inequality

The Women’s Media Center (co-founded by two-time Oscar winner Jane Fonda) recently reported that in the past decade, women have received only 19 percent of all non-acting Oscar nominations. This year in cinematogra-phy, directing and editing, only one woman made the cut

These charts explain how Oscars diversity is way more complicated than you think

Women, of course, always make up 50 percent of the act-ing nominees, but they’ve received only 19 percent of the non-acting nominations over the past decade, according to a report by the Women’s Media Center released last week. Only 12 films directed by women have been nom-inated for best picture, ever. That’s 2.3 percent of all best picture nominees. Women have been more successful in technical categories such as costume design, but no wom-an has ever been nominated for best cinematography.

Women Accounted for 19 Percent of Non-Acting Oscar Nominations in Past Decade

“Women in film—and especially women of color—continue to face discriminatory hurdles,” Jane Fonda, co-founder and co-chair of the Women’s Media Center, said on Thursday. “Hollywood is still an all-boys’ club.

Oscars: Women Accounted for 19 Percent of Non-Acting Nominations

“There is a clear connection between the low num-bers of women hired for behind-the-scenes jobs in film and women’s low representation among Oscar nomi-nees,” WMC president, Julie Burton, said in a statement accompanying the release of the findings. “If they’re not hired in these non-acting categories, they’ll never have a chance to be recognized for their excellence.”
