UCLA’s annual Hollywood Diversity Report found the percentage of women in lead acting roles has nearly doubled over the past decade, writing credits have more than doubled and the percentage of women directors has increased by more than fivefold
By several metrics, 2022 has been a good year for women in the international film and TV business. UCLA’s annual Hollywood Diversity Report found the percentage of women in lead acting roles has nearly doubled over the past decade; that their share of writing credits has more than doubled; and that the percentage of women directors has increased by more than fivefold . In the U.K.
But those impressive advances also make clear the progress that still needs to be made. The old boys’ club of industry gatekeepers and C-suite decision-makers still holds sway, particularly outside North America. “The industry has changed for the better over the years with more female representation, but there is always more work to be done,” says Banijay Rights CEO Cathy Payne, one of 20 executives on‘s 2022 list of the most powerful women in global entertainment. “It’s important to constantly invest in the next generation.”
The Hollywood Reporter and A+E Networks will celebrate the women on this year’s Global Entertainment Power List at international television market Mipcom Cannes, where they are co-hosting the 10th Women in Global Entertainment Power Lunch, at the Majestic Hotel on Monday, Oct. 17. A+E has an ongoing commitment to boost women’s roles in the industry, as seen with its “Broader Focus” initiative at A+E’s Lifetime channel.
Actress Alyssa Milano will deliver the keynote address at the Power Lunch, where she will also open up about her recently sealed major first-look deal with A+E Studios to write and produce projects aimed at U.S. and global audiences.This story first appeared in the Oct. 5 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
