Hildur Gudnadottir could win an Oscar for best original score for 'Joker' - Reuters
SINCE the first Oscar ceremony in 1929, just 15% of the golden statuettes for acting and film production have been handed to women, according to an analysis of data on winners of individual awards (not overall awards given to films). This is equivalent to 376 women from a total of 2,435 winners.
The proportion of women drops to roughly 10%, or 201 of 2,085, when the gender-specific actor and actress awards are not included.
The percentage of women winners has increased over time, but they remain largely in the minority.For the first 10 years of the Oscars, 13% of winners were women – and only 4% in the categories open both to men and women.
