Letter Published in The National UAE on 30 Jan 19 Hollywood must catch up on the road to gender equalityI write in reference to your article Hollywood is changing but women still face an uphill battle(January 29). Gavin Esler has elaborately outlined the ways in which Oscar nominations are handled, and how they can be inequitable.Even though there is tremendous growth in filmmaking, scripting and direction, it is abhorrent how few African-American women directors working in Hollywood are given nominations today.Across the world, gender discrimination is waning and the film industry should catch up with that trend.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
