The state of women onscreen these days is so bad that a neutral score of zero is actually a positive! [This post is not behind the paywall.]

Winners are indicated. I got 16/24. Pretty good, if I may say so myself.

Plus: Walking Dead renewed; Sally Hawkins, action star?; Netflix streaming is superpopular; more…
