| I've often wondered about this. There is no difference between male acting and female acting. We certainly don't separate other categories, such as direction and writing, by gender. (Though doing so would certainly point up the inequality in opportunities in those areas for women in a definitive way.) Playing this out is kind of a fun mental exercise. We could double the number of nominees in an acting category and not divide by gender, but imagine the outcry if males happened to win several years in a row. It makes for an interesting discussion on past races--would Bette Midler or Ben Platt have won? Emma Stone or Casey Affleck? Len Cariou or Angela Lansbury? James Gandolfini or Edie Falco? And so forth. |
