Info

Non-acting Oscar nominees (and winners) were mainly male, according to a Women’s Media Center study The Women’s Media Center’s annual Oscar nomination count of the 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 nominees—conducted by Rachel Larris, WMC’s communications manager— showed men accounting for 81 percent of all nominations in nonacting categories. Women represented only 19 percent of all nominees. What’s more, in seven Oscar categories in 2015, no women were nominated for directing, original screenplay writing, adapted screenplay writing, cinematography, visual effects, original music scoring and sound mixing. ® OSCAR NOMINATIONS 135 THE GENDER GAP ® The 2015 Academy Awards nominated more men than women in non-acting categories by a margin of 5 to 1 140 149 35 Women are only 19% of all non-acting nominees The 4-year averaged count of women nominees is 19% 156 men women 149 “We are concerned that for the fourth year in a row, fewer than one in five of all non-acting nominees are women,” WMC President Julie Burton said of the 2015 nominees. “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.” Burton continued: “The Los Angeles Times conducted a study that showed that 94 percent of Academy voters are white and 77 percent 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.” 31 35 33 35 2012 19% 2013 25% 2014 17% 2015 19% 66 WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER The Status of Women in the U.S. Media 2015 TOC womensmediacenter.com
