Many fans are upset with the little recognition pose is getting from the Emmys this year. They're even more upset about the nominee choice.
Billy Porter who plays Pray Tell on the series is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series ... and that's it.
No shade to the amazingly talented actor Billy Porter, but the Emmys are being criticized for snubbing transgender performers of the show instead of giving them the nominations they rightfully deserve!
If those in charge of Emmy nominations don't get it by now, maybe these appreciation tweets for the female and non-binary actors of Pose will help them understand why actresses Dominique Jackson, Mj Rodriguez, Angelica Ross, Hailie Sahar, and actor Indya Moore should have received nominations.
First off, this is one of the most iconic scenes of Miss Elektra Abundance-Wintour, which is why Dominique Jackson not receiving a nomination is straight up disrespectful.
THE WOMEN OF POSE DESERVE EMMY NOMINATIONS FOR THIS ICONIC DRAG

I cried for three days straight after watching this heartfelt performance of Candy Ferocity played by Angelica Ross. #fantasticacting
People may not remember what you say, but they damn sure will remember how you made them, and @angelicaross you made us FEEEEL. Something money or a statue can’t measure up to. #PoseFX

The character Lulu is absolutely a beautiful 'Lioness,' and Hailie Sahar does an amazing job embodying her.
Hailie Sahar currently stars in FX's groundbreaking series 'Pose.' HollywoodLife talked EXCLUSIVELY with the actress about the amazing way she got the role, embodying Lulu, and those costumes! https://t.co/kfhJLOBuPB

This artist expresses their love for the remarkable character Blanca played by Mj Rodriguez with a beautiful painting. I have to have a copy of my own!
My girlfriend and I watch #posefx religiously and I love Blanca ( @mjrodriguez7 ) and what she stands for in the series so I recreated her @gaytimesuk cover. Please tag @mjrodriguez7 for me🤞🏾 Song: Fomo by @aprilandvista

Is there a word stronger than "love" without it being creepy to describe the way we all feel about the character Angel? The way she is played by Indya Moore makes me wish that they could receive every single award that exists in the world.
daily reminder to watch Pose so you can be as in love with Angel as I am!! #PoseFX

Say it again louder for the people in the back!
Once again we failed to give trans women the appreciation and recognition that they deserve. It’s the sense of motherhood/sisterhood and the emotions that their characters display that REALLY carries the show tbh... Smh they deserve better 💯🙄 #PoseFX

Those are just a few of the very many appreciation posts for the transgender cast of Pose. All I have left to say is this: The Emmys, please do better!
