Is it time to create gender-neutral award ceremonies?

It is in any case the wish of Emma Corrin.

The star, who won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Princess Diana in season 4 of

The Crown

and identifies as non-binary, said in an interview for the BBC that it was necessary to open the discounts price to more inclusiveness.



“I hope for a future in which this happens.

It's about allowing everyone to feel recognized and represented (…) It's difficult for me right now to try to justify in my head the fact of being non-binary and being named in categories feminine,” the star explained.

More representation

While she stars in

My Policeman

and

Lady Chatterley's Lover

, in female roles, and her first name isn't truly gender neutral, Emma Corrin believes that the gender she was assigned at birth is not important.

“Regarding the categories, should it be specified whether one is nominated for a female or male role?

We can discuss awards and their representation, but the conversation needs to be about greater representation in the material itself, in the content that we see for non-binary people, gay people and transgender people, because I think that will change a lot.

When these roles appear, which means more people and more actors will play them, I think there will be more urgency to address these questions, ”concluded the star.

The Oscars and the BAFTAs, two of the biggest international awards ceremonies, are said by the BBC to be engaged in discussions to make the ceremonies more inclusive and perhaps offer gender-neutral categories.
