Telling. Quantity of male versus female dialogue in best picture films of recent decades

(by @puddingviz)

@infobeautiful Winning "Best Picture" means the square root of jack shit in terms actual film quality. Those awards are all a big industry self congratulatory circle jerk

@infobeautiful It's awfully tough for women in film to approach 30-50% of spoken lines when they never get enough roles in film to begin with.

@infobeautiful recent decades is a decade ago. Ok.
@quimnuss @infobeautiful
Yeah, would be great to see the last 10 years compared to this. I'm pretty sure One Battle After Another and Everything Everywhere All At Once will stand out.
@MennoWolff @infobeautiful I'm a bit annoyed by information is beautiful making great infographics when Indiscovered them and nothing since. Plugging the same graphs over and over. I like what they did but....
@infobeautiful it's funny that only two years are missing, and one of them is 2012, the year of The Artist, a silent film 
@infobeautiful It's really funny because The Hurt Locker has a female director

@infobeautiful

"Winning "Best Picture" means what? Oscars?

@infobeautiful ce manque flagrant d'efficacité des hommes, c'est incroyable...
