Starting in 2022, the Brit Awards will remove separate male and female prizes for best solo and best international act. The gendered categories will be replaced with two gender-neutral awards: Artist of the Year and International Artist of the Year.
“The Brits have committed to making the show more inclusive,” the organizers said in a statement on Twitter. On the awards show’s website, they added it was about “celebrating artists solely for their music and work, rather than how they choose to identify or as others may see them, as part of the Brits’ commitment to evolving the show to be as inclusive and as relevant as possible.”

Does past incarnations of Bowie get honored?
Then two gender-neutral awards are Artist of the Year and International Artist of the Year.
I find that very judgmental of them. Suppose an “artist” is placed in one category, but self-identifies as a member of the other category?
To avoid this embarrassing problem, I suggest one category only, Artist. And give everyone eligible the same award. Then nobody gets upset.
I really should open my own politically correct consulting business.
Isn’t that special.
Uh huhhh..for losers who couldn’t get themselves NOTICED any other way!!
Fewer prizes = fewer advertising opportunities.
And that’s all the prize Olympics are about: creating buzz to spark conversation and build interest in films. The most important thing about the Oscars, for example, is not who actually wins them. The most important thing is to set up an ongoing argument among film buffs about the nominations: e.g. who is overdue, who was slighted, who should win and — the perennial favorite — how the Academy blew it again this year. The argument is the thing, not the actual winner. When an advertising gimmick starts attacking the rationale for its own existence, the tail is truly wagging the dog.
and judged how, by sales???
wut happens if white siobois win all the junk?
Archie Bunker was right about England.
I knew you’d have a unique response. :-)
Identify as all three genders and get three awards.
