For Your Consideration: Women Directors not included in this year’s Oscars
In eighty-four years of the Academy Awards, only 4 women (Lina Wertmüller, Jane Campion, Sofia Coppola and Kathryn Bigelow), have been nominated for a Best Directing Oscar.
Only 1 has won – Kathryn Bigelow in 2011.
Should we be surprised by this when:
The voting population of the Academy is 94% White, 77% Male and 62 is the average age.
Here then, for your consideration are some of the Women Directors Missing from this year’s Oscars.
