Awards season has barely begun, and one of the stars of streaming’s most decorated shows is weighing in on the debate over whether legacy awards shows such as the Oscars, Emmys and BAFTAs should fuse their gendered acting categories to avoid a binary system. Emma Corrin, who starred in Season 4 of the “The Crown,” told BBC News in an interview published over the weekend, “I hope for a future in which that happens.
“When it comes to categories, do we need to make it specific as to whether you’re being nominated for a female role or a male role?” A BAFTA spokesperson told the BBC that the organization is considering a shift to gender-neutral categories, saying it is “engaged in proactive and thoughtful consultation on this subject.” This isn’t the first time an actor in an acclaimed show or film has called for more consideration exhibited toward gender non-binary people in legacy awards.
