Transparent – Nominee, Best TV Series – Comedy
Jill Soloway told us this about creating her groundbreaking show, “My own parent came out as trans some years ago. I think, when I look back at it, I was trying to make the world safer for my parent to walk out the front door.” The series is a Globes nominee yet again, along with its star Jeffrey Tambor, who has three consecutive nominations, one for every season, and won in 2015 for his portrayal of Maura Pfefferman, who started life as Mort, and came out as transgender to his rather unlikeable children. The effect that announcement had on the family dynamics are explored in moving and humorous ways. The show is in its third season and has been picked up for a fourth by Amazon, which credits Transparent for being its breakthrough show.
