Jameela Jamil Calls for Non-Binary Category Amid Talk of Oscars Getting Rid of Gendered Acting Awards

Jameela Jamil is looking to have a conversation about awards show categories.

The 37-year-old star posed some thoughts to consider about the idea of doing away with gendered awards show categories amid talk of the Academy Awards looking to do so in the future.

“Just asking… Would it not be better to give non binary people their own category rather than open the door for Hollywood to completely shut out women given the known disproportionate amount of men vs women winning at awards shows?” she began in a lengthy post on Instagram.

“If we now have enough non binary talent to restructure entire awards shows, which i GREAT, then we should add rather thar run the accidental risk of erasing no? I say this as an audience member, because I am not t going to be nominated for an Oscar anyway.. obviously lol. I have no horse in this race!”
