‘Best Actor’: Dutch film awards go gender-neutral
AMSTERDAM, Aug 19 – The main movie awards in the Netherlands will from this year only single out the best acting performance in a leading and supporting role, instead of handing out separate prizes to male and female actors.The move is meant to make the Golden Calf awards – named after the small golden statues presented to winners – more inclusive, organizers said on Thursday.“We want to unite all makers, regardless of their background or gender,” said Jenny Booms, director of the Dutch Academy for Film.
