OUTSTANDING LEADING ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES

Nicco Annan as Uncle Clifford for (“Perpetratin”) in “P-VALLEY”
Jack Dylan Grazer as Fraser Wilson for (“Right here, right now #1”) in “WE ARE WHO WE ARE”
Jonathan Majors as Atticus "Tic" Freeman for (“Sundown”) in “LOVECRAFT COUNTRY”
Josh O’Connor as Prince Charles for (“War”) in “THE CROWN”
Regé-Jean Page as Simon Bassett for (“Diamond of the First Water”) in “BRIDGERTON”
Billy Porter as Pray Tell for (“Intervention”) in “POSE”

AND THE WINNER IS:


BILLY PORTER AS PRAY TELL FOR ("INTERVENTION") IN "POSE"

This is the fourth win and fifth nomination for Billy Porter. He now wins his third time in this category. He also won as part of Pose's ensemble in season 1 while also being nominated for season 2.

It'a rare for me to award a performer for every season of a show's run but when it comes to Porter he has been just so brillant each year on Pose that it sort've became impossible not to award him each year. This final season featured many brilliant moments from the actor but especially in the "Intervention" titled episode he is spectacular. Porter is an actor who can go big yet it never feels over the top and always grounded in reality. The above scene features Porter at his best and made my choice to award him for the final time pretty easy.
