UCLA Social Sciences

The Hollywood Diversity Report 2025, Part 1: Theatrical, was released by UCLA’s Entertainment and Media Initiative on Feb 27. The report examines the relationship between racial, ethnic and gender diversity and the bottom line in the entertainment industry. The study forms part of a bi-annual report series housed at UCLA’s Institute for Research on Labor and Employment within UCLA’s Division of Social Sciences.  

The Los Angeles Times covered the study reporting “that Hollywood is backsliding on its diversity efforts.” 

Furthermore, the story cited: “Last year, we celebrated some historic highs for people of color in the industry,” Ana-Christina Ramón, the report’s co-founder and director of UCLA’s Entertainment and Media Research Initiative, said in a statement. “But 2024 saw a widespread reversal, as film studios retreated from racial and ethnic diversity in front of and behind the camera.”
