Crown star Emma Corrin has called for the Best Actor and Best Actress categories at major film awards to be merged into one, genderless.
"I hope for a future in which this happens," Corrin told BBC News.
The star, who identifies as non-binary and uses their pronouns, added, "I don't think the categories are inclusive enough at this time."
The organizations behind the Baftas and the Oscars have indicated that they are engaged in discussions on the subject.
"This is for everyone to be able to feel recognized and represented," Corrin said.
The 26-year-old has already won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy for her performance as Princess Diana in series four of The Crown - but that was at a time when Corrin was still accepting her pronouns.
They play d n two high profile films this year - My Policeman and Lady Chatterl ey's lover.
