Emma Watson Movies Awards

Emma Watson made a potent call for breaking down gender categories as she scooped up the gender-neutral film acting prize at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, in a speech that was broadcast on Sunday night.

An award “that doesn’t separate nominees based on their sex says something about how we perceive the human experience, ” Ms. Watson, who won for her performance in “Beauty and the Beast, ” said in her acceptance speech.

“MTV’s move to create a genderless award for acting will mean something different to everyone, but to me it indicates that acting is about the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes; and that doesn’t need to be separated into two different categories, ” she said.

(Ms. Watson’s speech referred to this as the “first ever” occasion that an award show had combined the performance categories, but the MTV Movie Awards have in fact done so on two occasions in the past, in 2006 and 2007.)

Millie Bobby Brown, the 13-year-old star of Netflix’s show “Stranger Things, ” won the gender-neutral award for best acting in a television series.

Others were less sympathetic. Also on Monday morning, the conservative British television personality Piers Morgan, a host of “Good Morning Britain, ” lampooned Ms. Watson and the award, which he described as part of an “utterly ridiculous” culture of political correctness.

MTV’s prizes underwent an overhaul this year that included scrapping the male and female acting categories, and renaming what was previously called the MTV Movie Awards. The winners were chosen by public vote. “Beauty and the Beast” won the top film category, and “Stranger Things” won the top TV prize.

An earlier version of this article attributed an erroneous distinction to Emma Watson’s win of the gender-neutral acting prize. MTV awarded gender-neutral acting prizes at its movie awards show in 2006 and 2007; this was not the first-ever such award.he only turned 23 today, but Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has been recognised for her work in film and fashion at the MTV Movie Awards.

She collected the trailblazer award at the Los Angeles ceremony and, after spending her formative years in the spotlight, admitted: “Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing.”

Dressed in a Maxime Simoens graphic-print dress, she was presented the award by fellow British actor Eddie Redmayne and said: “I look back at all of the work I have done over the past 14 years and many things come to mind, notably how bad my hair was in the first Harry Potter film.

“Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing, and it’s a process. I was completely the eager beaver in school, I was the girl in the front of the class who was the first person to put her hand up.

“It’s often not cool to be the person that puts themselves out there, and I’ve often gotten teased mercilessly, but I found that ultimately if you truly pour your heart into what you believe in — even if it makes you vulnerable — amazing things can and will happen.”

The award was introduced last year when it was given to actress Emma Stone, and Watson said following in her footsteps was a daunting task.

She added: “I was actually here last year when Emma Stone won the trailblazer award, and she gave this awesome speech and I felt really inspired”. She sat in the audience with boyfriend Will Adamowicz.
