2022 showed us that there were not many improvements in women’s representation in Hollywood.
There were a lot of changes in 2022. While some of them were good, there were a lot of moments that showcased a collective regression in the industry. The Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University has released its 2022 “Celluloid Ceiling” report, which examines women’s employment in key behind-the-scenes roles in the 100 and 250 top-grossing films at the domestic box office.
