Australian actor Cate Blanchett has criticised the film industry for not making enough progress on gender equality. She spoke at the Cannes Film Festival and said the #MeToo movement lost momentum too quickly in Hollywood. Her comments started a new debate about the number of men and women in entertainment jobs.

Blanchett pointed out that most film crews are still dominated by men. She said that the push for equality stopped before real change could happen. This means that many workplaces have not become more diverse since the movement in 2017.

Industry experts say that some new policies have appeared, like new conduct rules and intimacy coordinators. However, there are still problems with having enough women in leadership roles. The issue of fair treatment for women in film remains an important topic.
