This year, for the first time ever, the majority of drama directing nominations — four out of six (67%) — went to female/non-white helmers. The helmers that were nominated were Steven Canals for the finale of Pose, Julie Anne Robinson for the pilot of Bridgerton, Jessica Hobbs for The Crown and Liz Garbus for The Handmaid’s Tale. 

Women have been unrepresented in the film/entertainment industry for years, as after a five and a half decades there have only been just a handful of nominated females. The change for female and non-white has been brewing and now it is time for a change.
