Reply to comment by CactusBoyScout in Awards Without Gender Categories? Celebrities Debate by CactusBoyScout

The comment you're referencing: "Per the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media: 17% of top grossing films had a female lead"

You left out the "top grossing" part, which would certainly skew your claim.

True. They have to use some kind of criteria though otherwise every indie movie and self-made film would have to be counted. And the “top grossing” ones are what matters most for someone’s career and for awards show recognition.
