You refer to it as the award it was. It's not transphobic or dead naming. That was how/who they identified as at the time of that movie and award. Frankly, it should just be best actor, period. Why the awards are gendered is kind of odd. They're all actors, regardless of gender.
Intent matters. If your intent is to be malicious, then it's transphobic & misgendering. If it's simply a referral to their past works, as explained above, it's fine.
To better understand, I've been chatting about this with my daughter & she has shown me a couple of discussion amongst non-binary folx. Look at their conversations, and use that as your jumping off point.
