Would anyone complain if they replaced male and female acting categorizes with dramatic and comedic categorizes instead?

I mean, there's always going to be someone to complain about something, that's just a rule of the Internet. But would anyone who matters care?)

Yes. The Golden Globes try to separate by genre and end up having stuff like The Martian nominated for best comedy/musical.

I think if they really need to have more than one award per type they should be split into budget size. Maybe <$30m, $30m to $100m and $100m+.

Because men play more leading roles, there will be always tug between more men in acting category vs nominating women from much less well known movies and series

Maybe that’s something that could be addressed

When it will be, then the conversation about gender neutral awards will make more sense. Awards are just a sign of what's going on in the industry, not the main culprit behind everything

The awards change their format all the time. There’s nothing preventing the industry from creating the category first.

Yes, people will complain if a male actor wins the award several times in a row.

Which is why a man will probably never win it.

I’m sure an appropriate quota/pattern will be established - 2 people identifying as female, 1 person identifying as male, and 1 non binary person, rinse & repeat. What could be more fair?!

Well, if their protected rapist studio bosses FIFA the right cult guild members, maybe.

I’d love to see Will Smith receive “Best Leading Carbon Unit in a Bucket of Shit or Shomit” from THE Rock.

Step 1: Only have one category for each award.

Step 2: Face increasing criticism that too many men are winning the awards.

Step 3: Go through years of arguments about a quota system for awards.

Step 4: ?

Step 5: Profit.

I don’t think anyone really cares about the awards now so they can do whatever the heck they want with them and the general population will continue to not give any fucks about these awards rich people give to themselves.

Bingo. However, a move like this will generate more entertainment on its own than a lot of Hollywood has given to the general audience in several years.

Alternatively, you and Emma Corrin are also people who don’t matter who are complaining about something. How ironic!

If this happens, we can say goodbye to outstanding performances by men getting appropriately recognized.
