Pose star Mj Rodriguez on her historic Emmy nomination: “I just want to constantly keep making that change. I want to constantly keep making history. I want to be at the front of change.”
on Sunday as the first trans woman to be nominated for an Emmy in a lead acting category, said she has been receiving a steady stream of texts from co-stars Billy Porter and Indya Moore since the start of the weekend. “I just want to constantly keep making that change,” Rodriguez told me on the red carpet. “I want to constantly keep making history. I want to be at the front of change.”
She acknowledges that there are plenty of trans women who helped pave the way for her success. “I’m glad I could be the one who held [the door] open a little longer,” Rodriguez said. Kathryn Hahn, nominated for her work as Agatha on “WandaVision,” told me she isn’t writing an acceptance before the ceremony. “Oh, god no!” she exclaimed before explaining that she was happy the cast of the Disney Plus show will finally be able to celebrate the show’s success together and in-person. “[Agatha] is the part like when you’re a little kid saying, ‘I’m going to be an actor,’” Hahn said of her work on the show. “This is the kind of part you dream about when you’re a little kid.
