Don’t the Oscars, an institution that still dictates much of what’s considered “the best” in the film industry, have an obligation to at least attempt to reflect the contributions made by nonbinary and gender-nonconforming performers?
2023 should have been Liv Hewson’s year. The 27-year-old actor quickly became a fan favorite on the Showtime series Yellowjackets, playing the tough-as-nails, secretly soft-hearted queer soccer goalie Van Palmer to perfection. But when Emmys season rolled around, a long-standing issue with the traditionally gendered award-show format reared its head again: Hewson, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, ultimately chose not to submit themself for consideration.
Granted, making the shift from “best actor/actress” categories to a less gendered iteration would be a challenge for the Academy, a body that isn’t exactly known for its emphasis on diversity. It took the explosion of the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag in 2015 for the Oscars to even begin to reckon with their long history of excluding and tokenizing Black actors and artists, and straight, cis performers are still far more likely than their LGBTQ+ peers to be recognized .
