Best male/female performer would leave gender out of it entirely and differentiate solely by biological sex. Ehhh I get what you're saying, but that's like saying male and female doctor suggests they both identify as men. Or male/female chancellor, supervisor, ambassador, etc. The only reason you associate "actor" with male is because there's an unnecessarily gendered word created for women alongside it. also, performer could be n actor, but it could also be a musician, or a comedian, etc --- Forever Momo; <cite>MrMelodramatic posted [p:955490700] in Best actor...

Correct, actor and actress. that's like saying male and female doctor suggests they both identify as men It's not like that at all. Quite the opposite of that. What's the female gendered word for doctor? Doctress...? MrMelodramatic posted... performer could be n actor, but it could also be a musician, or a comedian, etc I think the industry that the award is from would differentiate the type of performer. Comedian and Musician are already suitable words to associate with the specific industry. If more clarification is needed they can add "in film" "on stage", ect... to describe the type of performance. --- No locked doors, no windows barred. No more things to make my brain seem SKARD.

Zeus 06/27/21 3:50:42 PM #8:	Getting rid of the gendered categories would reduce the overall number of winners, and make the award even more political. adjl posted... The idea here is pretty obviously to do away with gendering actors' job title. It would make things simpler, but there's probably some logistical issue besides it? idk, even if you got rid of the gendered title, the gendered categories might remain. What they could do is establish multiple categories for "best actor" for inclusion, then have a best overall where the winners of those categories go up against each other... although I guess that'd just create more problems because any time a white person won, there would be controversial despite the fact there are far more white actors (because the US is majority white) so statistically you are more likely to get more talented white actors. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:955492936] in Best actor...

Obviously, any time you try to stop using a commonly-used word, it'll take some time to get people on board with that. It certainly wouldn't work overnight. The Oscars being as high-profile as they are, though, would be a decent place to start trying to effect that cultural shift. --- This is my signature.

wpot 06/28/21 11:01:19 AM #14:	I mean, if I were creating new awards today I would probably tie them to roles. Maybe "Lead" and "Supporting", although those have always been rather confusing.

That said, getting rid of the "gendered" roles now with their long history would just make the Oscars even more irrelevant than they already are. --- Pronounced "Whup-pot". Say it.

Criminalt 06/28/21 4:12:35 PM #18:	Redfeather posted... Then we can have more categories like best demon actor or best goldfish actor. Best goldfish actor was Steve the goldfish, whose most notable role was as the goldfish who flaps around on the bathroom floor in the opening minutes of Alex Proyas' Dark City (1998). Apparently he trained for weeks for just that one shot, spending a few seconds at a time out of his bowl.
