We are excited to showcase and recognize those efforts.”To form the list, the research team scored 376 theatrical films across twenty inclusion indicators, with the highest-scoring movies receiving top honors. The indicators ranked gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQ+, disability, and age representation for cast in leading and all speaking roles.
