Actresses!!! As you can see from my rant written this year on July 7th, the day after the Sag awards, I have issues, here goes:
Ok, so I watched the SAG awards this weekend, and I have to say Kudos to Natalie Portman for calling herself and the other women in her category Actresses!!! This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Women in Hollywood calling themselves Actors, as though being an actress is less valid. It pisses me off, being a woman is not less valid than being a man and using a feminine nominator is not devaluing. Especially when they say the best Female Actor and the best Male Actor. That is so stupid!!! If you are both actors, then there should just be one category, Actors, that should include men and women. But of course the reality is that they are not the same, women understand specific things about women and men understand different things about men, and the perspective is different, but one is not better than the other.
A woman is an ACTRESS, OWN IT!!
