Women Take Their Place Behind the Camera

VOA News: "Women were a major presence throughout last month's Academy Awards ceremony, from the host, comedienne Ellen Degeneres, to film industry executive Sherri Lansing, who received the Jean Hersholt award for her contributions to the film industry. Women artists shared the honors in the makeup and set design and costuming categories. But never has a director of photography walked up those steps to accept an Oscar wearing high heels and an evening gown."

I certainly think that the industry is a fairly balenced place at this point on almost all levels as it moves towards that goal of more integration. I also think that this is more specific to the film industry too because both the Oscars and Big Brother as well as many other shows are run by women and staffed faily evenly.
