Harrison Ghee and Alex Newell, believes that the structural limitations of the Emmy Awards system make it dishonest for them to participate. They express their frustration with the gendered categories in acting and advocate for gender-neutral awards, joining other actors who have voiced the same desire. While the Emmy Awards have not made any changes to their categories, actors can request the gender-neutral title "Performer" on their nomination certificate and Emmy statuette. Other organizations, such as the Independent Spirit Awards and the Grammys, have already adopted gender-neutral categories.
