2020 Hollywood Diversity Report: Film
2020 Hollywood Diversity Report: A different story behind the scenes
Film roles were more plentiful for women and people of color in 2018 and 2019, but underrepresentation remains for writers and execs.

The report focuses on the top-grossing films of 2018 and 2019.
