As a result of its latest round of elections, the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), the body that directs the Oscars’ strategic vision, is now made up of 31 women and 23 men, the academy announced on Monday. It is the first time that the board has a female majority in the academy’s 94-year history.
Actor Rita Wilson, documentary editor and producer Jean Tsien and composer Lesley Barber are among the women newly elected to the board of governors.
The number of people of color has also reached new record levels through the academy’s 2021-2022 elections, rising from 12 to 15. […]
The number of members was dramatically expanded in the wake of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy in 2015. At the time, the AMPAS revealed that 93% of its then 6,000 members where white, and 76% of them were men, with an average age of 63.
The academy then pledged in early 2016 to double the number of women and people of color by 2020, a goal that, according to the organization’s own count, was indeed surpassed in June last year, with membership now one-third female and 19% “underrepresented minorities.” …

And how is the Academy Award TV ratings doing lately?
Chuckle.
We don’t know who voted for Biden, due to the fraud.
Don’t know where you got your numbers from, but the source is most likely fraudulent too.
Rest assured, the face of the Democratic Party is Joseph Robinette Biden Junior. Not the alleged black vote either.
Looks like chick-flicks will be taking most of the Oscars.
The #oscarssowhite hashtag was a racist tag anyhow. De rigueur for Twitter.
Change it from Oscar to Karen....
Your response reminds me of conspiracy kooks who dismiss any evidence that Oswald acted alone by saying the evidence was tampered with. If you don’t know the demographics of the election then you’re assertion that women aren’t the cornerstone of the democratic voting base is simply made up.
How can they be sure?
How about 2016? Will you accept the numbers for that election? 54% voted for Clinton.
Frankly, the 2012 election is another one I disbelieve the numbers for. The liberal media admitted 100+ percent turnout in cities like NYC and Philly.
Romney agreed with the liberal media.
That of course is unsurprising. He was in a big hurry to concede the day after the election, which illustrates his designated loser status.
Illustration of poetic justice.
Like the Star Wars bar scene
ugh! but i suppose the only people that watch the Oscars are women and queer folk.
I hate that most vets are women- they won’t work with big dogs. Or farm animals anymore
It’s ok, nobody’s watching anymore.
I call the Dem party “ The Island of Misfit Toys”
How was 26 ad hominem? Do you understand the meaning of the word? I made no statement against you as a person. It was simply an observation. It’s impossible to sway dyed in the wool JFK conspiracy hounds because if you provide facts they’ll simply say the evidence can’t be trusted.
Just about every source I could link, like NBC News or any other source can be labeled “leftist.” Since every source I can find says the majority of Women vote for Democrats, why don’t you show me a source that states otherwise?
The link below indicates that the last time a Republican won the majority of female voters in a nationwide vote was in 1988:
