The Television Academy is making a move toward gender inclusivity and documentary exclusivity.
The organization behind the Primetime Emmy Awards announced a couple of rule changes Monday, including one applying to its various actor and actress categories. The nominees and winners in those categories can now choose to be identified as “performer” on their nomination certificate and on any Emmy statuette that might follow.
In other words, the categories will stay the same, but individuals will have more flexibility on self-identification within those categories, starting with the 2021 honors.
