Every year we see hundreds of women excelling behind the scenes of top films, & too few are ultimately rewarded w/ nominations & awards that can lead to continued career growth. We'll continue to shine a light on these talented professionals w/ our annual #VoteForWomen campaign.

It seems like we’re making progress until the Globes’ nominations are announced and not one of the many amazing women directors or women-directed movies are nominated in the top categories, and we realize we still have so much work to do.

The

’ shocking omission of critically acclaimed directors like
