Transformers: Bumblebee is among 20 other movie for year 2018 to receive the ReFrame Stamp, which recognizes standout, gender-balanced films.
The stamp, launched last June, awarded 12 film stamps in 2017. But the group’s 2018 study found continued disparities in female representation and women of color, with just 4% of the top 100 films directed by a female (down from 6% a year ago), and 23% written by a female. A total of 37% featured female leads, with only 9% being women of color.
Full list of award winners can be found, after the jump.

All the guys complaining that this is meaningless:

That Guy
you know after how gross Michael Bay treated his women caricatures in his films, this is actually a nice thing to be able to to say about a transformers movie. It may not be high praise, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.

So weird how so many of the Transformers Community are Braincels

It needs a "helicopter dance", Skyrim fans…

I feel a Monty Python song coming up…

What is an award and what is a stamp ,do they really exist? Does anything really matter, we are but a small part of what is the overwhelmingly massive cosmos, where stars are born, grown, and reborn

It's like the "PETA/Humane Society" mark and other such things.

Meaningless accolade is meaningless
Judge a film based on its quality as a film, not these politically motivated agendas. It’s already well past the point of absurdity as is
Gamerlingual
Well, laying this out here, as said before to please keep it transformers related. If you guys keep it up, this thread will be locked. Cut the bull and listen to simple instructions, please. Thank you
