The year 2010 saw some fantastic performances by actors Meryl Streep and Sandar Bullock for which both were nominated for the Academy Awards, eventually Bullock winning the golden trophy. Not only do Streep and Bullock perform in highly character based roles but both have come of age playing powerful roles and at the same time being achieving great popularity. Despite their immense success, there are still many places in Hollywood where women still have yet to leave a mark such as directing. Not only are there very few female directors but also most major movie production houses do not offer ample directing opportunities to aspiring female directors. The very few women directors who have tasted success refuse to talk about sexism, making it a very touchy subject to discuss in Hollywood.
The article below mentions the lack of enough women directors in Hollywood, an area dominated by men.
