Tonight clock 01:00, Norwegian time, the world (and the wrong side of the Atlantic who are unemployed fergie grammy / freelancers and watch over night to a Monday) enough once witness the greatest power demonstration own positioning and the consolidation of lasting glamor of the American film industry, and for one night we all forget that Hollywood is in crisis.
But even viewing figures for Oscar drops steadily, and here in Norway, NRK away prioritized his usual live broadcast of the Oscar show, and thus banished broadcast into the commercial television periphery, fergie grammy namely TV3 TV6. A sad consequence of this is that Montages Oscar's vigil in Kristiansand expires and the capital's fergie grammy film buffs are left without offering to watch the Oscars on canvas. It seems we are sad.
But despite a bleeding film industry and declining viewership, so hold Oscar Academy definition power no other mutineers of what quality film is, what stories are important, fergie grammy and who should tell them. And before many of us shamelessly let us be seduced by what the red carpet conjure up the arcane styling choices fergie grammy (my guilty pleasure here is obvious Inger Merete Hobbelstad blogging of the dresses), pillow-TV fergie grammy jokes and runny speeches, we here in Filmamasoner plant some puzzling about women's role in the world's fergie grammy biggest award.
Academy members, who are those who vote until these films, composed of 77% men. The median age is 62, and 94% of the members are white. It should not be controversial to assert that this will have a say on which films are nominated.
That is a horrible deficit of female directors general in the industry is old news, but they are SO represented only four women throughout history have been nominated (!) For best director, is a partial truth. Katheryn Bigelow fergie grammy is the only woman of the 86 winners. It does not make sense, but okay, this knew you. Other facts most people know, or should know: The average age of female winners of the Oscar for best actor is 31, while it is 43 for men. Female actresses who win Oscars earn vastly less at such a price in the form of increased fees in retrospect, than male actors do. And so on.
An article this week in the New York Times shows however new knowledge for most. By going through the number of minutes nominated male lead and bi-roller is on the screen compared to their female counterparts nominees, they found that the women are on average 27 minutes less to see than men. Last year's ratio was even worse. Why is this so? The explanation they believe to be found in the type of stories fergie grammy of men and women have their respective roles in. The main male lead tend to be stories where the man is the protagonist we see everything through-we experience his views and experiences of the world. fergie grammy The female leading roles tend however to be melodramas, fergie grammy where the main role serves as a link between different stories and subplot. Thus, less time on the canvas. They are thus typically casted in various genres.
Another article in Newsweek this week makes another interesting point. Of the nine nominated films for Best Picture, only three of them female lead roles. Nevertheless, there are five nominees for best female lead role - that is two of these movies not nominated for Best Film, namely Blue Jasmine and August: Osage County. By comparison, all roles nominated for Best Actor to find among the nine films nominated for Best Picture. This illustrates a general tendency. Statistics show that a much higher proportion of male actors nominated for the roles they have in the movies nominated for Best Picture, than women. The women are thus nominated for their roles, but the film they play in are often considered not good enough for nomination for Best Film.
The author gives two possible fergie grammy reasons for this: one is that there simply are fewer good female roles to choose from, so that more female actors seeking more interesting roles in films with lower profile. But more interesting is the other reason: that this says something about the types of stories academy (and Hollywood) prefers. The review of the statistics from the very beginning until today speaks fergie grammy its clear language that the male-dominated stories often wins, which in turn tells us something about what stories Academy members believe fergie grammy it is worth telling. As the author himself writes:
