Women still lag behind men in behind-the-scenes categories for the 2017 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, according to a new analysis by the Women’s Media Center.
There was no change in the percentage of women nominated in all 89 non-acting categories for the 69th Emmys. In the combined categories of writing, directing, editing and producing, women gained only one percentage point — from 25 percent last year to 26 percent this year. In all non-acting categories, women represented only 28 percent of nominees.
The research also found that women lost ground in writing and editing but improved in directing and producing.
