Best Actor or Best Actress?
Their pronouns are they/them and they are non-binary.
I imagine with trans people who are MTF they'll be put in the Actress category (and vice versa) but what about the Corrins of this world?
Such people will be in the "illiterate" category, because they don't know that "they" is plural, and cannot refer to one person.
shareI love when folks post something that is easily disproved by a two second internet search, I guess that's why the "confidently incorrect" subreddit exists...

They should've scrapped gender for those awards a long time ago. One award for each acting category.
shareWhy?
shareThey're all actors - male, female, young, old, black, white, gay, straight, etc. So why separate out genders? When it comes to the craft of acting, why wouldn't genders be allowed to compete with other genders?
shareBecause women would never win.
Unless the Oscar’s will be rigged to make women win like studios have done with hiring actors. That wouldn’t surprise me.
Every Oscar winner will be female PoCs from now on.
Then the world will finally realize what a useless event it is.
There was a reason why all those "women categories" were created back in a day. So to give women chance to get anything. Because otherwise men would take everything.
If there would be one acting category then DiCaprios and Bales will take that award all the time.
Since there is anonymous voting for nominees then they would find themselves having 4 men and 1 woman in those acting categories. Some Nicole Kidman would occasionally get in. And it would be DiCaprio, Bale, Mahershala Ali, Chalamet, Kidman.
Just look at Director category. Poor women directors can't even get nomination. No matter how woke press is whining. Once in few years one will sneak. They just count all the votes and women directors don't have enough votes
It’s fine the way it is. Best Actor and Best Actress. This shit is so ridiculous. Some people need to get a life and find some real things to complain about.
shareThat's why they wanted to cancel Actress and Actor category and merge them in one.
To appease that group of people. Then understood that it will mean that men will get all acting awards and quietly abandoned that idea.
Best thing would be to create for all those groups separate category and push them there. BUt they don't want to because everyone know it would be meaningless.
But I would actually like to see how Emma Corrin will declare she wants to mens category because she feels like it on the day of announcement. And then some male actor to demand to be included in womens category.
I suspect they would campaign in whatever category they felt was most appropriate and the Academy could decide to nominate them in that category.
shareI think the academy would probably ignore their preference if they were nominated for an award. It would cause a lot of confusion if non binary actors and actresses were allowed in both categories.
shareOr you know, we could just go with common sense. Everyone knows Emma is a girl. She's no more a boy or 'non-binary" than she is a mollusk or deciduous tree.
sharePerhaps we don't need to know the sexuality of every actor or actress. Everyone doesn't need to come out as anything just keep it to yourself.
