¿Puede colgarse ya la institución la medalla de lo políticamente correcto? Ni por asomo: un análisis de la ONG Women’s Media Center señala que la representación femenina en los Premios de la Academia sigue dejando mucho que desear.

Sus conclusiones: sólo un 20 por ciento de las categorías no dramáticas cuentan con mujeres nominadas, lo cual se queda muy por debajo de la proporción real entre géneros en la industria de Hollywood. Y no sólo eso, sino que también desciende un 2 por ciento sobre la cuota de 2016.
