BAFTA’s decision causes controversy: nonbinary performers are in a tough spot

Even though BAFTA says it had “proactive and thoughtful consultation” with experts and people in the industry, it eventually decided not to create gender-neutral categories like the Brit Awards did.

 

 

This choice has big effects on nonbinary performers, who might not fit into traditional gender roles. Emma Corrin, who uses they/them pronouns, has pushed for award events to be more open to everyone.

Corrin thinks that the current categories are “not inclusive enough” and wants to see gender-neutral categories in the future so that everyone can feel “acknowledged and represented.” They stress how important it is for women and other under-represented groups to have more roles in the entertainment business.

The Oscars and Tonys have also thought about gender-neutral categories, but they have stuck with their standard “Best Actress” and “Best Actor” names.

Some people are saying that it’s important to recognise and reflect all identities, which is part of the ongoing debate about gender-neutral categories. Others, like Adele, are proud of their gender identity and like to fit into standard categories.

Moving forward, it’s clear that BAFTA’s choice has started a serious talk about identity, representation, and acceptance in the entertainment business.

What do you think about award shows that don’t give gender-based categories? Should standard labels be looked at again to include nonbinary performers?
