The BAFTA awards have been criticised, because it was nominated for a lack of representation, no non-white Actors , and no women were nominated in the category best Director for the seventh year in a row.

This comes A Day after the Golden Globes all had nominated one-man-list for best Director.

Bafta boss Amanda Berry said she was "very disappointed" by the lack of diversity.

So, how bad is it?

In The Last 10 years, 50 nominations for Best Director

2 of them women, Kathryn Bigelow in 2013, and Lynne Ramsay in the year 2012

Ms berry were point-to-Director to be nominated for the other categories, for example for short films.

in The Past ten years, only about 5% of the Bafta-support nominations for best actor, actress or The Best actor or actress were non-white.

this is the Baftas - But what about the rest of the industry?

Martha Lauzen, Director of The Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film San Diego State University, has been tracking the employment of women in the film industry since 1998.

In the year 2019, only 13% of Directors on the 250 highest grossing films were female, in her report on the "celluloid ceiling," found.

And this is The Top 250 films, women:

Despite these numbers, the "recent highs", it was not a lot of movement during the 22 years, Dr. the study is Lauzen.

For comparison, in 1998, on The Top 250 films, women 9% of Directors:

considering only The 100 highest-grossing films, the proportion of female Directors tripled between 2018 and 2019, from 4% to 12%, But the numbers remain at a low level.

Ms Lauzen said representation of interests of women and Hollywood , it was "strange to be talking about reaching historical highs, if The Women remain far from parity".

And although the numbers had "moved in a positive direction. Men are still more Men than women by four to one in the most important behind-the-scenes "roles".

The Women and Hollywood Website, news editor, Rachel Montpelier, also emphasizes, "there was no change in The Number of women, the roles in the most important off-screen since 2018".

meanwhile, the study found Directors in the UK, the Professional Association of UK-screen directors, to 2,591 UK films between 2005 and 2014 13. 6% of Board members were women.

UK film students are wide-50% male and 50% female, according to the research, and as a student of the industry, The Split is about half and half. So it is, as you progress further, that the problem shows up.

The Report , published in the year 2016, the proposed Men were more likely to rent to the other Men , while a lack of female Role Models may make it more difficult for women to progress, the preservation of "obsolete, unconscious prejudices of the people in the industry".

find A report, in seven European countries, including the UK, a similar drop-off took place in the representation: in 2013, 44% of the graduates entering the film industry were women, compared with 24% of the working Directors.
