Hollywood actress Jameela Jamil has said gender-neutral acting awards at the Oscars would harm women, suggesting that non-binary people should instead have their own awards category.

“This is regarding the Oscars looking to get rid of gendered acting awards. As we see with the director award which is genderless, it’s rare to even see a woman nominated never mind win,” Jamil said in an Instagram post on Saturday.
