The OscarNoms are out... and not a single woman was nominated for Best Director.
. But in the era of #MeToo and #TimesUp, the stagnant Hollywood sexism evidenced by this year’s Oscar nominees is glaring.
“The larger society is deprived of women’s voices, perspectives, and creativity,” WMC President Julie Burton said in a statement. “At a time when women are demanding more power and visibility, these low numbers should be a wake-up call for Hollywood executives. The message is: Time’s up for inequality.”
Hollywood sexism won’t be dismantled without better media representation for women and other communities too often erased, caricatured and overlooked by the entertainment industry. An unprecedented consciousness of the exploitation, abuse and sexual misconduct long made acceptable by dozens of powerful men in the film industry only highlights the true value of diversity and inclusion not just at awards ceremonies, but across the sector.
It is more clear now than ever that a balancing of the scales for women on- and off-screen in Hollywood is the only real way to address the loss of opportunity and the mental, physical and emotional harm of abuse and complicity that years of male dominance have normalized. Time’s up on boy’s clubs. Time’s up on Hollywood’s head honchoes looking the other way. Time’s up on the exploitation and sexual abuse of young women trying to find footing and pursue their passions.
