The image shows two identical sections with the title "AS GOOD AS IT GETS?" prominently featured at the top of each. The content is about the lack of recognition of women directors at the Oscars. Here's a summary of the layout and content for one section, as both are the same: - The main title "AS GOOD AS IT GETS?" is followed by a black and white, stylized image of an Academy Award Oscar statuette, which has the head of a woman with a gorilla mask superimposed on it. This represents the work of the Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous group of female artists who fight sexism and racism within the art world. - Just below the title and image, there's a list titled "Number of women directors nominated for an Oscar:" with years and numbers beside them, starting from 1997 down to 1927-75, most of which have zeros indicating no nominations. There are three asterisks beside certain years (1994, 1977-92, and 1976), presumably indicating one nomination each for those periods. - Underneath the list is another statement: "And the winners are:" with a bold "0" below it, implying no female winners. - At the bottom of each section, there's a footer that reads "A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM GUERRILLA GIRLS" along with an email address, "go@guerrillagirls.com". - Additionally, there are sidenotes on each side of the central list. On the left, it says "*no women of color have ever been nominated", and on the right, individual names "*Jane Campion **Lina Wertmuller" are listed, likely referring to the exceptions noted by the asterisks in the list above. The image serves as an advocacy statement critiquing and highlighting gender inequality in the film industry's awards system, pointing out the underrepresentation of women, and more specifically women of color, among the nominees and winners of the Oscars.

This image compares the number of women directors nominated for Oscars over several years, highlighting the lack of representation. The text asks "As Good as It Gets?", referring to the low numbers of women directors nominated, which are shown to be 0 or 1 in most years. The "winners are:" section at the bottom indicates there have been no women of color directors nominated. The image appears to be a public service message from a group called "Guerrilla Girls" addressing the gender imbalance in the film industry and Oscar nominations.
