| Unfortunately with awards we have to categorize in some ways. With gender categories it may become harder - if the actor is Non-binary, or/also if the role is. I think perhaps a better category is the type of performance... i.e. Best Performance in a Comedy / Drama (or Best Comedic / Dramatic Performance). But then what about all the roles/shows that don't qualify neatly as comedy or drama or whichever genre. And that makes a lot of sense in general, because it's hard to ask comedic performances and dramatic ones to compete against each other. And miscategorizing and unfair competition in genre categories is nothing new, we see it every year especially in the Golden Globes and Emmys. What I'd hate to see is for them to lose the categorizing but then half as many actors get to be nominated. I also think if 10 actors are nominated in the same category it could really dilute what that means and the kind of light it shines on each of them. |

| ... a non-binary or genderless character being played by a non-binary or genderless performer, yet clearly being an awards-worthy performance. My guess is that it'll happen in TV or Film before it happens onstage. Oddly enough, in this 'golden age' of Television, it's the theater that's becoming a bit retrograde & traditional. Personally, I think it'd be perfectly do-able for us to evaluate actors simply by the performance, without requiring gender categories. - GMB |

| I don't know if the show will ever come to fruition, but if we ever get Justin Vivian Bond playing Anna Madrigal in Tales of the City, that would be one to watch. | |
