Michaela Jaé Rodriguez

In celebration of Pride Month we give a shout out to a few of our many LGBTQ+ Golden Globe nominees and winners from 80 years of paying homage to the best in Entertainment. They have been an inspiration to many, both on and off screen - and also on the red carpet.

In March, Golden Globe winner Michaela Jaé Rodriguez sat down with HFPA member Elisabeth Sereda for an exclusive interview. The first Golden Globe for a trans actress shared her thoughts about being who she is, how she got there, and where her career would take her.

On Sunday, January 9, 2022, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez made history by becoming the first transgender actress to win a Golden Globe. Against a backdrop of philanthropic involvement that has seen the Hollywood Foreign Press Association give away $50 million over 25 years, the winners of the Golden Globes were announced at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Her art mirrors her life more than that of any other performer. Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, who first started her career under the short form of her first name, MJ Rodriguez, became a superstar in Ryan Murphy’s series Pose about the lives, loves and challenges of transgender people.
