It’s become an all-too-familiar refrain: despite an uptick in discussions regarding the need for diversity in Hollywood, the hard numbers are telling a very different story. The Women’s Media Center, cofounded by Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem, has today released a new report that finds that this year’s Oscar nominations in non-acting categories are made up of only 20% women, a 2% dip from the 2016 nominations.
As the study notes, for the seventh year in a row, female directors were shut out of the best director category (only one woman has ever won — Kathryn Bigelow for “The Hurt Locker” — and only four women total have ever been nominated). Ava DuVernay did make off with a nod, however, over in the documentary category with her “13th.” “Hidden Figures” screenwriter Allison Schroeder earned the sole female screenwriter nod. Over in the cinematography category, the long-standing tradition of never nominating a woman remained.

Soon after the nominations were announced, the Women’s Media Center released its 2015 review of the status of women as nominees for non-acting Academy Awards.
Julie Burton, president of the Women’s Media Center stated, “The Women’s Media Center congratulates all Academy Award nominees – it is a great day of recognition for their talent and artistic vision. However, we are concerned that for the fourth year in a row, fewer than one in five of all non-acting nominees are women.” Burton continued, “The stark disparity in the Oscar nominations this year – particularly in the categories of Directing and Writing – demonstrates that male voices and perspectives are largely responsible for what we see on screen. The Los Angeles Times conducted a study that showed that 94% of Academy voters are white and 77% are male – we wonder if these numbers have something to do with the fact that talented directors like Ava DuVernay ("Selma") and Angelina Jolie ("Unbroken") did not make the final cut.”
The Women’s Media Center analysis was conducted by Rachel Larris, communications manager of the Women's Media Center.
A Wmc infographic of the key findings demonstrates that the nominations tilt heavily towards men:
Across 19 non-acting categories 149 men are nominated versus 35 women.*
There are seven Oscar categories with no women nominated (directing, writing—original screenplay, writing—adapted screenplay, cinematography, original score, visual effects, sound mixing).
