Pose star Michaela Jae “MJ” Rodriguez has earned her first Emmy Award nomination, making history as the first transgender actor to earn a nomination in a leading role – Best Leading Actress in a Drama Series.
MJ Rodriguez earned a place in our hearts and in television history with her portrayal of Blanca Rodriguez-Evangelista in FX’s Pose, featuring the largest cast of transgender actresses in a scripted show ever. The show’s series finale season packed an emotional punch and went out with a bang, a vibrant celebration of the characters, the laughs, the tears, and the ballrooms that have become part of our LGBTQ storytelling on mainstream television.
