In conjunction with its Women in Entertainment breakfast, The Hollywood Reporter has published its annual list of the most powerful women in Hollywood. My thoughts are that the list is pretty much the same from last year especially in the top 10 with a couple of women moving around. Angela Bromstad joins the list in the top ten as president of primetime entertainment at NBC (a very hard job nowadays.)
The list also indicates the inroads women have made in TV (and how far women have to go in movies) with 7 of the top ten, TV executives.
These are incredibly powerful women yet all (in the top 10), except Oprah who owns her own company, report to men. The list is also pretty damn white. I counted 8 women of color on the list.
