It should come as no surprise that women continue to be in the minority of nominees for annual Academy Awards. Women in the film industry continue to come up against a proverbial glass ceiling, each year comprising no more than 32% of the Oscar nominees in non-acting categories. In 2025, the percentage of women nominees dropped below 30%: Of the 216 Oscar nominees in non-acting categories, 59 (27%) are women, and the other 157 (73%) are men. This is a decrease from 2024, when women were 32% of non-acting Oscar nominees, compared to 68% men.
