FX’s groundbreaking Pose — about an LGBTQ clique navigating AIDS, bigotry and drag-ball culture in ‘80s and then ‘90s New York — earned its third consecutive Best TV Drama win at GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics’ Dorians TV Awards for its third and final season. The show’s Mj Rodriguez, who last month became the first trans woman to be nominated for an Emmy in a lead acting category, received the GALECA LGBTQIA+ Trailblazer Award for creating art that inspires empathy, truth and equity.
HBO Max’s Hacks and HBO’s I May Destroy You also received multiple awards during the pre-recorded ceremony, hosted by veteran West Coast radio personality and LGBTQ rights activist Karel, which was streamed free Sunday on subscription channels Here TV and YouTube’s PlanetOut.
Hacks was named Best TV Comedy, I May Destroy You won Best TV Movie or Miniseries, with the shows’ stars, Jean Smart and Michaela Coel, respectively, sharing the Best TV Performance prize. Additionally, Coel and Saturday Night Live standout Bowen Yang shared the special Wilde Wit award, named in honor of Oscar Wilde.
