Yes, Hollywood Needs to #HireTheseWomen

Most of us already know that the Hollywood system is broken, particularly when it comes to recognizing the talent of women in front of and behind the camera. So folks took to Twitter today via the hashtag #HireTheseWomen to sound off on the female talent they think is underrated and underused. The hashtag itself politely demands Hollywood bigwigs to get off their asses and, well, hire these women already.

So of course I had to put my two cents in by creating my own list of 20 women who I think deserve a whole lot more than what they're getting in the Hollywood system. Check it out:
