OUTSTANDING CASTING FOR A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOVIE

Olivia Scott-Webb for Fleabag
Tiffany Little Canfield & Bernard Telsey for Fosse/Verdon
Alexa L. Fogel for Pose
David Rubin, Tara Feldstein & Chase Paris for Sharp Objects
Aisha Coley, Billy Hopkins, Ahley Ingram & Ian Subsara for When They See Us

AND THE WINNER IS


ALEXA L. FOGEL FOR POSE

This is the first win and fourth nomination for Alexa L. Fogel. She was previously nominated for casting Oz (2000), The Wire (2004) & True Detective (2014).

Just prepare for all the Pose love. It's been over a year since the first season premiered (we are currently watching the wonderful second season) yet I still adore everything this series has done for the landscape of television. Never has a show featured so many trans actors of colour playing actual trans characters. The casting has to be praised due to its inclusiveness finding exciting new acting talent and also providing opportunity for well established performers like Billy Porter. Fogel and the entire casting department have done something so simple as casting diverse talent in roles that they are appropriate casting for and in an era of media where diverse casting needs to increase a show like Pose is leading the charge.
