Oprah Winfrey and Ava DuVernay (Credit: Getty/Mike Windle) The director’s chair is “white and male,” a new survey conducted by the University of Southern California found. After surveying 1,100 top-grossing films and 1,223 directors between 2007 and 2017, the researchers at USC say very little has changed in Hollywood’s creative leadership, and the industry continues to “underperform when it comes to hiring female and diverse directors.” In terms of who helmed the 1,100 films studied, male directors outnumbered female directors 22 to 1.
Despite Appearances, It’s Still White And Male Behind The Camera
