The LA Times has dug in and talked to 89% of Academy members and to no one’s surprise the Academy is old, white and male.

Here are the stats:

• The Academy is 94% white
• The Academy is 77% male. 
• The median age is 62.
• Only 14% are under 50 years old.

Also we learned that women make up just 9% of the directing branch and 19% of the screenwriting branch.

This is why we need more women (and people of colour!) controlling and contributing to media.

Filed under shit people of colour and many white women already knew. Every couple of years something like this pops up. It never changes and likely will never change.
