I'm so glad that all the movies I like came out between 1967-1999 when the world was normal.
In all seriousness that's a great way to cause disputes for no other reason other than to be PC, and kill interest in your films as less films get rewarded for acting.

If you're being honest, in co-ed acting awards men are going to win a big chunk of the time since at the moment dramatic parts for men are still better. So this will either result in women barely winning, or deserving men losing out just to have a token choice to balance it out sometimes. Nobody wins like this.

I'm not really bitching about it in either direction. I think this is going to be an interesting experiment, but like Countjohn says, it's likely to skew male because that's where most of the plum roles tend to go nowadays. |

It does seem like a lose-lose situation.
Will the jury members now be pressured into giving it mostly to female performers? Will they be condemned if they give both awards to male ones? Will there be internet bitching if the leading award goes to a male and the supporting one to a female? Do we live in stupid times considering that these questions popped in my mind at all?

I agree with the general idea that there is no reason whatsoever that acting awards should be separated by gender (other than so you can star fuck that little bit more by handing out more awards to actors) but yes, just creating trouble for yourself in the current climate  |

I agree it's lose-lose because it's going to stir up negative attention in either direction. |

Couldn't care less, I don't follow Berlin all that much. Wouldn't be bothered if more festivals adopt this structure so long as critics' groups and the precursors/Oscars don't. Eliminating that boundary just means two fewer people get awards. I don't like that at all.

Cheap festival. A move just to save money for two silver bear statuettes.
