Emma Watson hits the stage to accept the award for Best Actor in a Movie at the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium on Sunday (May 7) in Los Angeles.
The 27-year-old actress won the first acting award not separated by gender boundaries and she made sure to note it in her speech.
“Firstly, I feel I have to say something about the award itself. The first acting award in history that doesn’t separate nominees based on their sex says something about how we perceive the human experience,” Emma said during her speech. “MTV’s move to create a gender-less award for acting will mean something different to everyone. But to me, it indicates that acting is about the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. And that doesn’t need to be separated into two different categories.”
Emma won for her work in Beauty and the Beast and she noted that fans probably gave her the award “because of who Belle is and what she represents.”
FYI: Emma is wearing a Kitx dress, Susi Studio shoes, and Forevermark jewelry.
