A Women’s Media Center investigation found that women receive only 28 percent of all non-acting nominations for the 2017 Primetime Emmy Nominations. Despite modest gains for women in a few categories, the nominations reflect the ongoing deficit of behind-the-camera opportunities for women in television.

This fifth edition of the Women’s Media Center’s annual assessment of how a diversity of females fare across all media platforms—and in arenas including education, engineering and technology that pump workers into the media pipeline—finds areas of progress, regress and, sadly, outright pushback.

Women represent only 20 percent of the non-acting categories in the 89th annual Academy Award nominations, according to a Women’s Media Center analysis. Despite an overhaul of membership last year, where hundreds of new members were invited, including many women and people of color, female Oscar nominees dipped two percentage points from last year’s nominations.
