MJ Rodriguez made history last year as the first trans actress to win a Golden Globe – but that ceremony never took place. Here’s how Ryan Murphy set things right.
It makes sense, then, that he was honoured with a lifetime achievement award at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards. Rather than take the time to talk about himself, though, he made sure to use the moment to shine the spotlight on his colleagues – particularly MJ Rodriguez, who made history last year when she became the first transgender actor to win a Golden Globe.
“In doing so, MJ from Newark, New Jersey, became the first trans actress ever to win a Golden Globe. And I thought, ‘Wow, how I would have loved for MJ to be on this stage getting the standing ovation she deserved for making history.”Murphy continued: “I’m thrilled to say that MJ is one of my guests tonight. She’s here at my table.Watch the gorgeous moment for yourself below:
“You are often told you will never become anything, you have to hide your light to survive. But for those kids watching, tonight I offer up MJ and Billy and Niecy and Matt and Jeremy as examples of possibility.”
