«Breaking News» Gender non-binary Billions star nominated for Best Supporting Actor

The gender nonconforming star of Billons, Asia Kate Dillon, has been nominated for a Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for the second time.

Dillon, 34, plays Taylor Mason, a gender non-binary intern turned prodigy on the Showtime show. 

Dillon was born female but, after years of struggling with gender identity, removed all references to sex or gender from Twitter in 2015. 

Asia Kate Dillon has been nominated for the Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Dillon plays the gender nonconforming character of Taylor Mason in Billions (right in character) and is non-binary in real life 

Now, Dillon identifies as a female, non-gender conforming and pansexual, meaning attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.

Dillon was nominated in the same category last year but lost out to David Harbour of the Netflix series Stranger Things. 

Laverne Cox, a transsexual actress who starred with Dillon on Orange Is The New Black, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2013 and was twice nominated for an Emmy.  

Dillon was submitted by Showtime for an Emmy earlier this year and wrote a letter to the television academy asking it to reconsider its categories - male and female - for non-binary actors. 

Dillon was assigned female at birth and always had gender identity issues but described reading the script for Billions and understanding their character as a 'lightbulb moment'. They are shown as a child, left, and earlier in their career 

Dillon's Twitter bio includes their pronouns

Dillon did not receive a nomination in the end but the letter prompted MTV to merge its male and female categories in awards shows. 

A spokesman for the Critics Choice Awards told DailyMail.com on Monday that it did not consider doing the same. 

'There has been no formal consideration of merging female and male acting categories,' they said. 

In that letter Dillion said they would rather be considered an actor rather than an actress. 

That preference is believed to have prompted the Emmy nomination category Dillion is now nominated for. 

Dillon is yet to react to the news publicly.  

Dillon will maintain a prominent role in the fourth series of Billions, acting alongside Damian Lewis and Maggie Siff, when it returns to Showtime next year

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
