Same reason entertainment awards are gendered, it's the only way females will actually get an award.

I think the gendered nature pf entertainment awards is a good thing. Men and women are different, and thus typically display different characteristics in acting, music, etc. Having awards systems that recognize this is much better in that it codifies, even if subtly, sexual dimorphism.

It’s almost every other part of modern entertainment awards that’s absolute nonsense.
