WMC Investigation 2025: Gender and Non-Acting Oscar Nominations - Infographics

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.
