Women earned a number of barrier-breaking Oscar nominations this year, but overall representation of women in Oscar-nominated behind-the-scenes categories fell two percent according to a report from the Women's Media Center published Monday. The report, authored by awards blogger Sasha Stone, noted landmark achievements — like how "Jackie" composer Mica Levi became the first women to be nominated for original score, and how Joi McMillon became the first black woman to earn an editing nomination — but bemoaned the decrease in female nominees overall despite efforts by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to expand and diversify membership.

"We have a saying, 'If you can see it, you can be it,' but in the crucial behind-the-scenes non-acting roles, our 'Women’s Media Center Investigation' shows that what you see is 80 percent of all nominees are men," Julie Burton, president of the Women’s Media Center, said in a news release. "Four out of five nominees are men -- meaning male voices and perspectives are largely responsible for what we see on screen."

While there were some bright spots in the study — including Ava DuVernay’s nomination for best documentary feature for 13th, and Jackie composer Mica Levi becoming the first female in her category since 2000 — the report highlighted the ways women are underrepresented behind the camera. “We have a saying: ‘If you can see it, you can be it,’” Julie Burton, president of the Women’s Media Center told EW, “but in the crucial behind-the-scenes non-acting roles, our investigation shows that what you see is 80 percent of all nominees are men. Four out of five nominees are men — meaning male voices and perspectives are largely responsible for what we see onscreen.”

"In the crucial behind-the-scenes, non-acting roles, our investigation shows that what you see is 80 percent of all nominees are men," Julie Burton, president of the Women's Media Center, said in a press release. "Four out of five nominees are men—meaning male voices and perspectives are largely responsible for what we see on screen."

For all the talk of inclusion in this year’s Oscar nominations, the Women’s Media Center released this eyebrow-raising statistic in a report out today: 80 percent of this year’s Oscar nominees are men. For the seventh year in a row, in the feature-directing category, all nominees are men.

This year, the number of female nominees for the non-acting categories was pretty much abysmal. In a study conducted by the Women's Media Center (WMC), it was determined that 80% of the behind-the-camera nominations went to men. Out of the 189 total non-acting nominees, just 37 of them were women.

The Oscars aren't just so white — they're also so male, according to a new Women's Media Center study. This imbalance in recognition is especially evident when you look at the people behind the camera. The analysis found that within the 19 non-acting categories, 80% of nominees are men, Variety reports. Every single nominee for Best Director is male.

A new study finds the number of females nominated behind the scenes dropped by 2 per cent this year, despite a number of movies that featured strong women on-screen nabbing nominations, including “20th Century Women”, “La La land”, and “Arrival”. According to a report by the Women’s Media Center – co-founded by Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem – only 20 per cent of the non-acting categories featured women.

In my own field, male bylines outnumber female bylines in almost every major newspaper, according to The Status of Women in the U.S. Media, a 2015 report from the Women's Media Center. Men are quoted in front page stories three times as often as women.

What we’re seeing is a larger manifestation of very common tactics of abuse,” Soraya Chemaly, a writer and director of the Women’s Media Center Speech Project, told CN-NMoney. “There’s nothing new about what we’re seeing.”

But even as our embattled profession threatens to become a pink-collar ghetto, men still hold nearly two-thirds of newspaper supervisory posts, according to a 2015 report by the Women’s Media Center

Soraya Chemaly, the director of the Women’s Media Cen-ter Speech Project, pointed out that even “the Republican men who are disavowing Trump are betraying the other side of rape culture: seemingly benevolent paternalism that casts select women as needing protection from strong men.”

The women ([Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, Gloria Steinem] who are giving me this award have always been very pas-sionate in wanting to train other women so that they could be in positions of leadership.”
