Emma attended the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards in a draped cocktail dress by Kitx, an Australian label celebrated for its ethical and sustainable fashion. The asymmetric design featured striking embellishments and was likely crafted from recycled plastic.

She received the Best Actor in a Movie award for her role as Belle in Disney’s live-action remake of “Beauty and the Beast.”

Emma Watson Celebrates Gender-Neutral Acting Award With Powerful Message

Emma Watson praised the significance of this step, emphasizing that it underscores the idea that acting is about empathy and understanding different perspectives.

“The first acting award in history that doesn’t separate nominees based on their sex says something about how we perceive the human experience,” she said.

“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. This is very meaningful to me.”
