Bella Ramsey Says ‘It’s Important’ to Keep Gendered Awards for Best Actor and Actress: ‘Recognition for Women in the Industry’ Must Be ‘Preserved’
"The Last of Us" star Bella Ramsey competes for lead actress despite being non-binary, and they are comfortable with the placement.
You're viewing a single thread.
The real move here is probably to allow the Nominee to select the category that they think best suits them.
non-binary wouldn't fit in either existing category. The real move here would be to eliminate gendered categories since this isn't even a sport and no gender has any distinct advantage.
While I agree in theory the problem in practice due to industry bias and sexism is basically only men will win
And again, this doesn't solve that problem.
It solves the problem of Women not being recognised for their work.
No it doesn't. There's a giant asterisk on every award that they're given. It's degrading.
Yeah I'd have to say I'm in the "we need to keep the categories" camp but I admit I don't know how we would properly acknowledge bi or non-gendered or anyone between or betwixt.
And we should have a way because there is no reason someone like Bella (love them btw) won't give an award winning performance as a bi-sexual or something and then wtf do we do.
I don't know the answer.
That's true as well. They could also create more categories I suppose.
They should have a category for Best Chris
