"Comedians Urged to Boycott Awards Show Hosting Due to Sensitivity, Defend Jo Koy's Jokes"

"Saturday Night Live" comic Michael Che suggested that comedians should boycott hosting award shows due to the harsh treatment they receive for making jokes, following criticism of Golden Globes host Jo Koy. Che argued that movie stars are too self-conscious to enjoy comedic hosting, and defended Koy's jokes while pointing out the hypocrisy of actors' reactions. Koy admitted that his Taylor Swift joke fell flat and expressed that the negative reception "hurt." Che also criticized Hollywood for not respecting comedians and highlighted the lack of recognition for comedic actors in award ceremonies.

Jameela Jamil advocates for non-binary category at award shows to prevent exclusion of women.

Jameela Jamil suggests that non-binary people should have their own category at award shows instead of having gender-neutral categories, to avoid completely shutting out women. She believes that the industry should expand the possibilities for both gender non-conforming people and women to have a fair shot at winning awards. Jamil's proposal comes as the Oscars consider getting rid of gendered acting awards, and she acknowledges the disparity that exists in the industry. Some award shows, such as the Independent Spirit Awards and the British Independent Film Awards, have already shifted to gender-neutral categories.
