Geena Davis on Spirit Awards Going Gender-Neutral in Acting Categories and Whether ‘Cutthroat Island’ Bankrupted Its Studio
While Davis acknowledged she hadn’t heard the news, she noted that “you’re losing half of the awards, which might not be desirable” and that the move might be “a little too soon.”
When the topic of nonbinary and other gender-diverse actors who might not fit into the specific label of “actress” or “actor” was broached, Davis acknowledged this as an issue before noting how the label of “actor” or “actress” can also be an unnecessarily gendered thing she doesn’t like. “There’s a very legitimate concern that Hollywood is obviously not a level playing field when it comes to women in the industry,” he added. “But I don’t think the way to address that problem is by holding on to sort of antiquated award categories. I don’t think that’s the solution.”
