Yes, I find it equally ridiculous. Hollywood is not known to be backwards anyhow, and in my mind, not even the gendered categories are needed. As if acting-performance has anything to do with gender.
But, I do get that it is a show more than anything else. The more legit categories to be talked about, the better.
That being said, if there are any black actors, directors or whatever that have put on a phenomenal performance and deserved a nomination, then they may have a reason to be angry that this person is not included. I don't see any of that mentioned here.
She is talking about power and economical impact and all that jazz here, it really seems very misdirected.
