OUTSTANDING LEADING ACTRESS IN A DRAMA SERIES

Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart for ("The One Where Diane Joins the Resistance") in "THE GOOD FIGHT"
Jodie Comer as Villanelle / Oksana Astankova for ("I Hope You Like Missionary!") in "KILLING EVE"
Maggie Gyllenhaal as Eileen Merrell / "Candy" for ("We're All Beasts") in "THE DEUCE"
Sandra Oh as Eve Polastri for ("Do You Know How to Dispose of a Body?") in "KILLING EVE"
Julia Roberts as Heidi Bergman for ("Protocol") in "HOMECOMING"
MJ Rodriguez as Blanca Rodriguez-Evangelista for ("Mother's Day") in "POSE"

AND THE WINNER IS:


MJ RODRIGUEZ AS BLANCA RODRIGUEZ-EVANGELISTA FOR ("MOTHER'S DAY") IN "POSE"

This is the first win and nomination for MJ Rodriguez.

Before Pose premiered I had no idea who MJ Rodriguez was, this type of discovery is always my favourite when watching a new film or television show. Rodriguez plays the motherly figure Blanca who from the moment she's introduced is captivating. MJ like many of the performers featured in Pose provides great heart and love of their characters that for me was entirely satisying to watch. Ryan Murphy has used his clout quite well in providing opportunity for minority talent and Rodriguez is a great example of this great opportunity. Perhaps if the people with money in film/television making were more like Murphy we wouldn't have the great inequality we have and there'd be more talent like MJ given great opportunities to shine.
