Haven’t the Grammy’s always operated in a genderless fashion? It would be fine.

The true problem, from a ratings/audience perspective, is that you’d be losing out on opportunities to give the famous people awards, which is largely what people are tuning in to see. Most of the awards given out on Oscar night go to people you’ve never heard of, so to lose the chance to highlight more A-listers is pretty risky, from a ratings perspective.

But in terms of the practicality of it? Of course they should do it. As Chris Rock noted in his opening monologue, during the 2016 Oscars: “it’s not track & field. There’s no reason to separate the performances based on gender.”
