Of course, the Guardian's preferred solution is to abolish 'actress' altogether in favour of the (apparently) neutral 'actor'. So just one category for the Oscars and so on. Nett result of that would be women getting even fewer awards.

So, the best actor and best actress prizes won by (the sex formerly known as) men, no prizes left for (the sex formerly known as) women.

Remind me again how expanding the boundaries of "women" to include (the sex formerly known as) men provides any benefits whatsoever to (the sex formerly known as) women?

yes, you guessed it.

One of four, but the film's centered on his character and named for it, and he's the one who got handed the trophy.

In some way it's well deserved, he must be a phenomenal actor to convince people he's a women Hmm

It's like giving the Best Actress Oscar to Jack Lemmon for Some Like It Hot.

At least he has a fine big shoulder for himself to cry on

His acceptance speech was all me me me and let's sock it to the haters. Oh, and he forgot to mention the other women who won too (the prize was for an ensemble) - oops! Silly boy.

Selfish, self absorbed dick shocker. Not.

Well he doesn't play a woman either. He apparently plays a mobster who stages his own death and then reappears as a "woman." Doesn't make it much better.

Meanwhile we have Eddie Izzard saying he wouldn't dream of taking a woman's role in a film because 'it wouldn't be fair'. Huh. Chance would be a fine thing.
Izzard really doesn't cut it as a woman, I expect this person doesn't either, in the flesh. But we all pretend.

Ffs!

does anybody remember that clomping ‘ballerina’ from a while back, being feted by all the actually talented and skilled women? All a bloke has to do is turn up in a skirt and everyone acts as if they’ve done something marvelous - women rarely get such praise even when they achieve something truly outstanding.
