Emmy Awards go gender neutral

THE Television Academy’s Board of Governors has confirmed that Emmy nominees in the best actress or best actor categories can choose to be called a performer rather than an actor or actress when the Emmys take place in September.

Their nomination certificate and, for winners, Emmy statuette will carry the term performer instead of the traditional titles.

At last year’s Emmys, Schitt’s Creek scooped all seven comedy awards.
