The Locarno Film Festival will introduce gender-neutral acting awards for its 76th annual ceremony in 2023, festival organizers announced Wednesday. Already a festival that embraces diverse voices and gender parity – in 2018 it became the second world festival and first in Switzerland to sign the Programming Pledge for Parity and Inclusion in Cinema – Locarno’s announcement comes on the heels of other film organizations like the Independent Spirit Awards announcing similar initiatives. It is among the first world festivals to present gender-neutral acting categories.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent The Locarno Film Festival is switching to gender-neutral categories starting from next year’s 2023 edition. The prominent Swiss fest dedicated to global indie cinema is following in the footsteps of the Berlin Film Festival, which in 2021 awarded its first gender neutral acting prize. Unlike Berlin, however, Locarno will hand out two gender-neutral prizes for best performance in both the fest’s main competition and its Cineasti del Presente competition for first and second works. When Berlin did away with awards for the best actor and actress it subbed them with single gender neutral prizes for best leading performance and best supporting performance.

The Locarno film festival will shift to gender-neutral acting categories with its 76th edition set to run August 2-12, 2023.

It was a big night for HBO’s runway hit The White Lotus at the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning nearly all the major categories it was nominated in. Sydney-born out gay Australian actor Murray Bartlett took home Emmy for best supporting actor in a limited series, while co-star and gay icon Jennifer Coolidge won the best supporting actress in a limited series. In his acceptance speech, Bartlett thanked White for “giving me one of the best experiences of my life” and gave a shout out to his mom. “I just want to thank my mom all the way home in Australia for giving me the most wonderful foundation of unconditional love. And inspiring me to believe that we can all do that for each other.

The White Lotus breakout star Murray Bartlett claimed the first Emmy of his career tonight, for his outlandish role as Armond, the ingratiating but conniving luxury hotel manager in the HBO limited series.

Television Academy’s Emmys are meaningless, a new poll revealed.The survey of 1,000 people, which was conducted by OnePoll, unveiled that only 34% of respondents actually plan on watching this year’s 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, which air on Sept. 12 on NBC.The poll is a stark contrast from the 61% of people who said they watched the awards show at least “sometimes” in past years.It’s also a shock since 53% of those surveyed said they watch the most TV — at 15 hours or more weekly.Obviously, those who never really watch TV said they have no interest in watching the Emmys, with 93% of the anti-TV group expressing the sentiment.Last year, CBS scored a larger audience for the 2021 Emmy Awards, with the show increasing eyeballs by 16% — earning 7.4 million viewers.

MTV Video Music Awards. Since MTV launched in 1981, the silver trophy – originally named the “Moonman” – has depicted an astronaut planting a flag with the MTV logo on the moon’s surface. While the iconic statue has received few makeovers over the years, it was recently given a more gender neutral name.

Canada’s top film and television awards are going gender-neutral.
