At this year’s ceremony, Pose received five nominations but unfortunately walked away empty-handed. Michaela Jaé (Mj) Rodriguez made history by becoming the first out transgender actor or actress nominated in a lead acting category thanks to her Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series nod.
Also nominated was Billy Porter for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, marking the star’s third Emmy nod overall. Canals, along with Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuck, Janet Mock, and Our Lady J, were nominated in Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for the show’s last-ever episode.
Pose received the show’s second nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, with Canals also being recognised in the Outstanding Directing For a Drama Series.
