In response to calls from some quarters to eliminate gendered acting categories in recognition of wider spectrum of genders beyond males and females, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences said on Monday that, beginning with this year’s Emmy nominations, it will invite people who are nominated for acting awards to opt to be recognized as a “performer,” rather than an “actor” or “actress.”

In other words, the categories themselves will not be changing names, but the description of the nominees will become a bit more malleable. “No performer category titled ‘Actor’ or ‘Actress’ has ever had a gender requirement for submissions,” the Academy said in a statement, somewhat confusingly. “Now, nominees and winners in any performer category titled ‘Actor’ or ‘Actress’ may request that their nomination certificate and Emmy statuette carry the term ‘Performer’ in place of Actor or Actress.”

Additionally and unrelatedly, the TV Academy has declared that any film that is even entered for the best documentary feature or best documentary short Oscars will, starting next Emmy season, be ineligible for Emmy recognition. This appears to be a response to criticisms raised by yours truly

just call them all narcissists. these award shows are just one big circle jerk anyways & nobody cares anymore. Oscars went from 23mill last year to 9mill this year. Take the hint we are tired of your indulgent crap.
