Should The Male And Female Actor Awards Be Scrapped In Favour Of Just One Award?

[dave50]

With the Oscars coming up soon I was wondering when the awards for best actor and actress will be combined into just one award for best actor whether it be male or female? It's bound to happen soon but of course that will open another can of worms whereby if a male wins it two years on the trot then there will be cries of sexism from the usual suspects. So what they will have to do is have alternative male and female winners which of course demeans the whole thing. Oh what a tangled web we weave. Looking forward to it happening because I love it when the leftie luvvies back themselves into a corner and tie themselves up in knots with their ludicrous ideas and demands.

I am not sure that anyone ever has seriously proposed this before now. Who's tying who in knots again?

[ummmm]

They tend to play completely different roles though.

[fiction-factory]

I like a bit of alliteration but where do leftie luvvies come into this?

[Islay]

Is this a serious question or just a chance to have a pop at people again?

[Barmaid]

*Chortlesplutters* brilliant best wind up question this week!

Obviously they both play different roles. ALL of the other categories are unisex, where the roles are obviously unisex.

[anotheoldgit]

Well one can no longer call them Actresses, so it might be heading that way.

[mccfluff]

but surely ALL roles are different. I think it should just be the best actor award.

not entirely sure what leftie luvvies have to do with equality and knot tying??

Blimey mccfluff, they are past masters at the game.

[jackthehat]

Cheer up, Dave.

No, I don't think they ever will.

Why don't you spend your time imaging more cheerful stuff? I'm sure you'd feel all the better for it.

As the awards gallop towards their 90th Anniversary next year there have been changes along the way , the Academy will decide if and when more change happens.

That will do for me.

[Barmaid]

The difficulty is, the voting is flawed which is why that type of categorisation is needed. 94% are men and 77% white.

But even worse is the top roles for women. It works out at about 8:1. So it evens the playing field in that respect.

They have to deal with the other bits first otherwise it will become more male dominated.

[Spicerack]

The worst film ever made will clear up at the awards this year.

[ummmm]

Which is?

[Spicerack]

Come now, ummmm, we all know. (and why)

[mccfluff]

v true BM, perhaps i should have said, in order for it to work fairly, the whole system needs to be overhauled first.

Really AOG, that the best you got?

[mccfluff]

what's the worst film ever made?

[mccfluff]

so what is this mysterious worst film? anyone?

[fiction-factory]

The one with an all black cast?

[mccfluff]

black panther, is that a contender its not long be released?

Why is that the worst film, i've not seen it but its got good reviews, its one i plan to watch

[mccfluff]

actually, that's not an all black cast, so not sure which film you're on about?
