Jamie Lee Curtis Supports De-Gendering Acting Categories at Oscars 2023: 'Mother of a Trans Daughter'
Jamie Lee Curtis expressed support for the push to de-gender acting categories following her win for Best Supporting Actress at the 2023 Oscars. «As the mother of a trans daughter, I completely understand,» Curtis said of the question regarding the gendering of Best Actor and Actress categories. «In all the areas, in all the branches...we're not anywhere near there.» Curtis also acknowledged the difficulty of still maintaining opportunities for women while expanding categories to include the larger gender spectrum. «To de-gender the category, I'm also concerned will diminish the opportunities for more women, which is something I have also been working hard to promote,» Curtis said.
