Since they've gone to non-gendered awards, they nominate less people and give half the acting awards?

It used to be, for example, Best Featured Actor and Best Featured Actress in a musical, and each category had 5 nominees and 1 winner. 10 nominations and 2 winners. Now that it's not gendered it is Outstanding Featured Performer... with only 7 nominees and only *1* winner.

All their acting categories this year have only 7 noms and only 1 win.

How is this progress? To take away recognition, to shrink the number of actors honored and given a spotlight with the nomination, and cut in half the amount of winners... Who is this helping?

Am i missing something here?

If you do non-gendered category, you must still nominate 10 performances for the category (be it Lead in Musical, Featured in Musical, Lead in Play, Featured in Play), and award TWO winners, regardless of the gender of the performances that win.
