Oscars Gender Gap Extends to Actors and Actresses

Description

There’s yet another area where men have an advantage over women in Hollywood. It's in the number of men and women who are up for Oscar nominations in the acting categories. Entertainment news outlet TheWrap looked at the Academy’s list of the 336 films that qualified for the Oscars this year and determined that female directors are far scarcer among U.S. narrative films than they are for documentaries and foreign films. But further scrutiny of the list finds another gender gap not among directors, but actors. Films submitting for the Oscars are allowed to nominated up to 10 actors for their films. It looks like again this year men far outnumbered women in submissions.
