вЂњThe lack of women in the visual effects industry is part of a larger pattern of exclusion across the film industry,вЂќ Smith said. Women of color represented 2.1 percent of nominees, and none of them won. At the Visual Effects Society Awards, women comprised 12.8 percent of nominees and 9.3 percent of winners from 2016-2020. Benson for вЂњAliensвЂќ) and just two others have been nominated (вЂњCliffhangerвЂ™sвЂќ Pamela Easley and вЂњLove and Monsters'вЂќ Genevieve Camilleri). Only one woman besides Bennett has ever won (Suzanne M. In the past decade, вЂњEx MachinaвЂ™sвЂќ Sara Bennett has been the only woman to win the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Per a press release for the study, вЂњWomen of color were most likely to be VFX producers (5.8% of all roles) or VFX editors (5.1% of all roles), but held only 1% of other leadership positions.вЂќДЇemale VFX professionals donвЂ™t fare much better at awards ceremonies. Overall, there were 208 male VFX supervisors for every woman of color. From 2016-2019, WOC held only 2.5 percent of leadership roles, and less than one percent of VFX supervisor positions. Women of color are particularly underrepresented in the VFX field. Breaking this statistic down further, the ratio of women varied widely by role: women made up 2.9 percent of VFX supervisors, 46.7 percent of VFX producers, 23 percent of VFX editors, 3.7 percent of animation supervisors, two percent of lighting supervisors, 7.4 percent of compositing supervisors, and 3.5 percent of CG/3D supervisors. The report concludes that women held just 16.2 percent of senior VFX positions during the considered timeframe. In other words, among popular movies, there were 3.6 men working in VFX for every one woman. According to вЂњInvisible in Visual Effects: Understanding the Prevalence and Experiences of Women in the Field,вЂќ women received only 21.6 percent of visual effects (VFX) credits among the 400 top-grossing films from 2016 to 2019. Smith, the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, and Women in Animation (WIA) has highlighted yet another egregious gender gap in film. ItвЂ™s no secret that women are underrepresented as speaking characters, directors, screenwriters, and producers in HollywoodвЂ™s highest-earning films.
