The Primetime Emmy Awards have opened more doors for people to get nominated, but it doesn’t mean that more women are being invited inside. The number of women nominated for non-acting Primetime Emmys in 2021 decreased by three percentage points compared to 2020, according to the most recent Women’s Media Center (WMC) analysis.

Television is an industry where “gender parity” in non-acting jobs is often discussed but rarely achieved. And when it comes to the Primetime Emmy Awards, the total numbers of women who get nominations in non-acting categories have continued to stall at below 40% every year. For the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards, 33% of the non-acting nominees are women. This is barely an increase from last year, when women were 32% of the non-acting nominees for the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards.
