Emmy Awards to replace 'Actor', 'Actress' statues with 'Performer' at winner or nominee's request/ ANI
The Emmy Awards are giving nominees the option to be more gender-inclusive with their statues by replacing 'actor' and 'actress' statues with 'Performer' at the winner or nominee's request.
According to Fox News, the Television Academy's Board of Governors announced on Monday that it has approved rule changes that will allow nominees an option to request that their nomination certificate and possible Emmy statuette use the term 'Performer' rather than 'Actor' or 'Actress'.
The move answers recent calls from gender non-conforming stars to make the awards system less dependent on pronouns and gendered casting.
