Bella Ramsey has called on award shows to be more inclusive after their “uncomfortable” experience submitting for the 2023 Emmys.
Over the last few years, the topic of gender-specific award show categories has taken center stage when discussing non-binary inclusivity within the entertainment sphere.
While some award shows have moved toward genderless categories, other big-name ceremonies like the Oscars, BAFTA’s, Golden Globes, and Emmys have yet to implement their own inclusive measures.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Ramsey – who now uses they/them pronouns – opened up about their “uncomfortable” experience while submitting for the upcoming Emmy Awards. “The categories at the moment feel extremely gendered with the language around them,” the Hilda star explained.
