AND THE WINNER IS:

ALEXANDRA BILLINGS AS DAVINA FOR (“BORN AGAIN”) IN “TRANSPARENT”

This is the first win and fourth nomination for Alexandra Billings. She was previously nominated with the ensemble of Transparent (2015-2017).

Alexandra has been a pretty consistent guest star on Transparent for its entire run and this season while less successful featured a wonderful episode focused on her character that gave Billings the chance to play so much. She as an actress contains a natural charisma and this episode provides us with some earlier moments of Davina that provide a greater look into this character that we as an audience have seen as the inspiration for Moira to fully embrace her new self. It might not be the most traditional comedy series but as tv progresses the traditional comedy mode is opening up to embrace shows like Transparent.
