Three women—Barbie, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift—seem to be running the world, or at least the economy. But success is not recognition.
for films seeking Oscar nominations. But for now, only three women have ever won Best Director and only five have won Best Original Screenplay.
The message young women absorb is that unless you are a one-in-a-generation talent like Lauryn Hill or Whitney Houston, female artists of color can kiss goodbye any hope of wide-scale recognition by the Recording Academy. As a culture, we place considerable emphasis on awards and national recognition. While the Oscars nominating no female directors and the Grammys snubbing Beyoncé may seem arbitrary, it reflects—and, more importantly, shapes—what the public sees as valid art. When rap and R&B are sidelined during major awards, along with female artists themselves, those institutions signal that these genres and creatives are culturally unimportant, even when they dominate the economy.
Now amid the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes, these questions of who deserves apt recognition for their labor are especially relevant. Just as writers and actors are the backbone of the entertainment industry, female creatives have shaped music, film and TV, but do not see their contributions duly recognized.
The dual strikes have already disrupted the timing of the Emmys, which are postponed until January. I would love to see the unions’ demand for more equitably compensated work go even further than winning fair contracts and delaying the award show season.summer, will forever change how we see female creatives and artists of color. Then they can finally get their flowers, and we can all watch it play on television screens across the world.
