Liv Hewson Opts Out of Emmy Awards Due to Gendered Categories

Nonbinary actor Liv Hewson will not submit themselves for Primetime Emmy Awards due to the gendered acting categories. Hewson, who uses 'they/them' pronouns, explained that it would be inaccurate to submit themselves as an actress or be lumped in with the boys.
