Canada’s top film and television awards are going gender-neutral.
Organizers say next year’s Canadian Screen Awards will drop categories dedicated to male and female performers in favour of categories that aren’t divided by gender.
The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television says this will “better represent the country’s diverse community of talent.”
Instead of four film categories that each honour best lead actor or actress and best supporting actor or actress, there will be two categories recognizing best “performance in a leading role” and “performance in a supporting role.”
Several genre-based TV categories are similarly renamed. For instance, the contests for best lead comedy actor and actress are simply becoming “best lead performer” in a comedy.
Previously, each category allowed for five nominees, but going forward the Academy says eight nominees will be considered.
