Gender representation in film : Comments

By Tim O'Hare, published 3/1/2017

If award nominations were entirely proportionate to the number of female film-makers (16%) then instead of receiving 2/28 nominations, female directors would receive 4 or 5.

False premise.

Also Tim, you can't expect that people should be forced, on pain of prison and rape, to fund women's sexual and reproductive choices, and then stupidly assume that everything else in the world is going to function just as if this fact is not true.

I assume , then , that if women had 10 of the 28 nominations , that they would be considered more talented this year?

Proportional representation is rubbish and as such must vary from year to year..

I don't suppose they would be upset if women were over represented?

Could it just be that men suck at making films.

You'd think they'd at least get a few for Best Short Film.
