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.
