The point remains, whatever the semantics of the name they give the award. An award is for the best. That’s what an award is.

I think this way is fine, I think the way the Drama Desks choose to do it is fine. You’re hyperventilating over a set of minor awards.

I actually think the Tonys have come up with a very acceptable, though imperfect, system. They maintain the number of acting awards (which, at eight, is double the number for the Oscars, which has an enormous field from which to choose!). If performers who identify as gender-nonconforming or non-binary are eligible, they get to choose which of the categories best represents their identity. Again, not perfect, but it seems the best approach.
