Yo I’m a straight dude from Texas that started watching Pose cause my homegirl and I ran out of shit to watch on quarantine. Had I known ahead of time it was all about Drag I would have never given it a chance, but we started watching it and man it’s objectively a really good show. When Billy Porters character finds out he tests positive for HIV I am sure the board at the Emmy’s was like “welp, he wins.” Not only that, but then his character wastes no emotion on any word... he got a rightfully deserved Emmy and I find myself now fully engaged in this show... well done FX
@Delron Beard We are very aware of that. The lament is that only He gets the attention and awards recognition while the female cast is just as amazing.
"It took many years of vomiting up all the filth that I have been taught about myself, and halfway believed, before I could walk around this earth like I had the right to be here" Amazing. He evokes the message and power of Pose in who he is. I think all the stars of that show do. What a great quote!
That made me cry, because I found out several years ago that I have black ancestry, which was a deep family secret and I saw how the fear and self-hatred twisted up my grandparents and their parents. We should never be forced to lie about who we are. It's so incredibly toxic and kudos to Porter for speaking that truth.
uhmm Television Academy you might want to change the caption above. Billy is not the "Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series for Better Call Saul" he is the Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series for POSE!!!
This man was barely out of a crib when he started planning his musical career. For the people who treated him badly, may the negative karma come back and bite you in the ass. Just finished Billy’s book and I would recommend reading it.
he wasn't my favorite character on the show...but he was the most important character on the show, because as flawed as he was, he was the moral compass of the show....The Mama, so to speak. And POSE, doesn't work without him in it. When all the crazy personalities were hurling their pain and drama at him, he did what a REAL friend was supposed to do : tell you the shit you dont wanna hear.
MJ Rodriguez & Dominique Jackson should have been nominated for best actress. If the Emmys don't nominated MJ, Dominique and Angelina Ross for season 2 you can just tell their transphobic
@Ryan Akwar White cis people have always been celebrated for their achievements but when it comes to minority groups when their are so few to pick from, it gets even more abundant that they only want to celebrate people that have made it far like laverne cox and not new talent such as Angelica, Mj and Dominique who did amazing performances worthy of a nomination especially Angelina Ross
I LOVE BILLY... and I am SO HAPPY that Kerry presenter the award. She understands and captures the historic gravity of the moment. And no one better than Billy to carry the torch! 🔥🙌🏾 I hope he upsets Brian Cox and Jason Bateman again this year to make it back to back wins!!
There are so many success stories from Star Search, Britney, Xtina, Justin, but Billy's success is one of the most important. He kept striving, kept working, kept doing his thing, and made a place for himself when others would not make a place for him. It brings me joy to live in a time where a gay black man can get on a stage, receive an award, speak his truth, and have his peers stand and applaud. The world needs more Billy Porter.
Unforgettable character, Billy Porter: The xatergory is LOVE. THIS IS WHAT BILLY EXUDES ON STAGE AS AN ARTIST AND A WORLDWIDE OF HEARTS AND KISSES.... CONGRATULATIONS TO A WELL HONORED PERFORMER!!
Billy porter is such an inspiration to so many people who dont believe in themselves and put themselves self down, like what I did for many years until I watched him in Pose. That award is rightfully his, I can't tell you how many times I laughed, cried and was inspired that no matter how tough life gets - things do get better but aslong as you change it and stand up for what you believe in. Very well deserved you truly inspirational man 💖💖💖
Bob Odenkirk´s performance throughout all the seasons of BCS is nothing short of MASTERFUL. When are they gonna give him the fucking award? Not to mention Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn or the unforgivably snubbed Michael McKean.
@@izetyusein3323 Odenkirk better win for season 5, as there´s no excuse not to give him the award anymore. This guy is masterful and he´s just as good as Bryan Cranston.
@@mateoairaudo5535 Thank you so much for saying that. Bryan Cranston was the pure driving force behind Breaking Bad, and that goes the same for Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Saul. Odenkirk's complex, fierce, riveting performance as Jimmy/Saul, is one of the main reasons why the show is just as good as Breaking Bad. I am loving season 5 for now and Bob Odenkirk is giving a performance of a lifetime as Jimmy McGill, aka Saul Goodman. If he doesn't win this year either, than the Emmy's are retards.
@@izetyusein3323 Exactly. I´m hopeful that, just as it happened with Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul will sweep all the awards in its last two seasons, meaning this and the sixth coming next year. That being said, at least Bob, Jonathan, Rhea, and Giancarlo still got the chance but Michael McKean snub is totally shameful, especially considering his masterclass in season 3. The man stole that season.
@@mateoairaudo5535 I love Michael McKean's performance in Better Call Saul. Those last moments of Chicanery in season 3, when Chuck had that breakdown, was one of my favourite moments on TV in 2017. The good thing was that at least McKean was nominated for a Best Guest Performance Emmy for his brief appearance in the season 4 finale of Better Call Saul. But one of the things that have gotten on my nerves with the Emmys is that they have nominated Bob Odenkirk's performance for each season now of Better Call Saul, and have nominated some of the rest of the cast and crew for their excellent work on the show, yet no one has won an Emmy for their outstanding work in Better Call Saul in any of the years that they have been nominated for, it's like they are trying to not make them win yet nominate them so they can give the actors and crew of Better Call Saul hope and a chance of them winning, only to crush their chances with someone who doesn't deserve the award at all to steal their award. Rhea Seehorn has also been snubbed so many times by the Emmy awards, and her performance has always been excellent ever since season 1.
Th Emmys are ready to award a black gay man but not ready to recognize transwomen. This is literally the problem being addressed in Pose, the hierarchy where the trans people are placed at the very bottom of society and the Emmys just proved it.
Now get MJ Rodriguez and Dominique Jackson their nominations, because they DESERVE
THEY WERE ROBBED-AGAIN!!!
They really deserve it but it doesn’t seem likely at this point
Ryan Akwar Take your hate comments elsewhere, troll.
I swearrrrrrrrrr
Absolutely agree
Billy Porter was so amazing in pose. He made me cry, laugh, inspired, laugh and cry all the way again and again. So well deserved.
What a surprise .

Same here
I’m sorry but just MJ Rodriguez and Dominique Jackson are on the same level as Billy Porter. The rest is good but not like them
*All the ladies in POSE were as great as Billy Porter*
ABISAI GILBERT oh absolutely
*FEMINISM*
You're absolutely right! They should be getting just as much attention as Billy. Especially MJ!
@Delron Beard We are very aware of that. The lament is that only He gets the attention and awards recognition while the female cast is just as amazing.
Maybe even better. They were paid dust in the nominations
But can we take a sec to acknowledge Dominique Jackson’s smile 🥺 she’s so proud 😭😭
"Apologies to whoever's sitting right behind him to the left..." haha CLASSIC!
If I didn't know any better, I'd think he was throwing shade. LOL
Lmao that killed me
Was that a reference? Or the actual person behind him? 😂
"It took many years of vomiting up all the filth that I have been taught about myself, and halfway believed, before I could walk around this earth like I had the right to be here"

Now if Billy Porter could just win an Oscar he would EGOT-ed for sure.
he honestly just needs the opportunity for an oscar since the films he have been in are not oscar caliber projects
Hmm. Maybe there could be a Pose movie after the series ends this season...
It would be nice.
That hat is EVERYTHING!!!!
"Apologies to the person sitting directly behind him to the left...."
@@fleetwood7538 lmaooooooooooo
And the category IS... LLOOOVVEEE
You betta say it Billy ❤️😭❤️😭
His Mom looks young enough to be his sister!
That is his sister actually
His Mom!!!?? How the hell?? His Mom.
That has to be his sister not his Mom
Yeeeah i was just rolling up the comment session to see this comment, I thought it was his sister omg
No that’s actually his sister Mary Martha
That was a tough category. All those actors had great performances but Billy Porter deserved it
I'm in the middle of binging Pose and hearing Billy say "the category is" here gives me chills! i love this show!
Imagine him as the host
"The category is:..."
Mj's reaction is the proudest and dominique's is the happiest face ive ever seen on people
That hat must cost $80K.
They’re crystals lmao, not diamonds.
His episode submission, "Love Is the Message" was absolute fire with so many real and authentic emotions. So well-deserved.
Billy Porter and MJ Rodriguez was amazing in that episode, kinda sad that they didn't nominated MJ Rodriguez cause she absolutely deserved it
Billy Porter's hat was EVERYTHING.
I know right..
When he says, "the category is Love y'all Love!"... It was absolutely legendary... I could imagine a thousand ballrooms illuminating
Omg!! Billy Porter did his thing! He was amazing in Pose and his performances gets better.
What a surprise.
it´s funny hear Elektra saying "BILLY!!!" at 0:45
Ryan Murphy times 3 is all we really need !
Glad he was recognized for his performance. He deserves all the awards.
Because he earned it.
now give him an Oscar so he can join the EGOT crew.
No one gives u anything. U earn it
that was cute- but now give the trans girls the recognition. they deserve to be up on that stage
Exactly
don’t do that
“You have the right, I have the right, we ALL have the right...” Billy Porter thank you for being YOU!! lovelovelovelovelove 💕
uhmm Television Academy you might want to change the caption above. Billy is not the "Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series for Better Call Saul" he is the Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series for POSE!!!
FYI, I just wrote to the Academy and they fixed this very quickly.
@@salb222 as they should. Thanks :)
I would watch that show lol
The way Kerry was so excited for Billy!
MJ Rodriguez's reaction is priceless, like a proud friend and mother. Beautiful moment!
Time stamp?
@@khancharlie8508 1:02
Watching Pose right now and sheeeesshhhh Billy Porter is an outstanding, remarkable actor.
Part of me wanted him to read the crowd, when he said "I need to read"
recognition for the wonderful trans women in the cast PLEASE!!!!
What a wonderful moment. He is extraordinary and so wonderful to see the cast truly celebrating with him. You can feel the love between them.
LEGEND.
JJ Chrismer cause he is :)
Fix your Description. He wins for POSE!!
FYI, I just wrote to the Academy and they fixed this very quickly.
the category is... hat extravaganza
Van Der Beek throwing up the power fist was BLISS
Yes indeed!!!
He really did turn into a gorgeous man.
This man was barely out of a crib when he started planning his musical career. For the people who treated him badly, may the negative karma come back and bite you in the ass. Just finished Billy’s book and I would recommend reading it.
This new season his acting blows me away. The entire cast deserves Emmy's. Such a powerful show.
Bob Odenkirk deserves an Emmy
TRUE
he wasn't my favorite character on the show...but he was the most important character on the show, because as flawed as he was, he was the moral compass of the show....The Mama, so to speak. And POSE, doesn't work without him in it. When all the crazy personalities were hurling their pain and drama at him, he did what a REAL friend was supposed to do : tell you the shit you dont wanna hear.
I would love to see MJ win
The look on the cast’s faces … and the face of James Van der Beek behind them ….❤️
I just finished the first season of Pose and this was well deserved! 🙌🙌
Well deserved win, he was exceptional in Pose.
NOW GIVE AWARDS TO THOSE TRANS WOMEN 🤍🤍🤍
Sterling… VIOLA… Billy! Such great, historic deserved wins!!!
I love how the other cast cheered fir him. I luv them congratulations
So proud of you. Your character on that show is more and above. It’s such a craft
And so beautiful to see everyone applauding Billy. He is amazing
kerry always makes me laugh so much at @1:34 😂

Fun fact one of my mom’s closest friends went to high school with Ryan Murphy and ironically she doesn’t know who Billy Porter is.
Yes kween yes. Take it all away you deserve it
I’m so moved by Billy… ‘ The Category Is Love!’ Honey I’m feeling this in my spirit…
Kerry was literally shook and I loves it. This should have way more views.
I wish Dominique Jackson wins an Emmys his acting in Pose is outstanding.
Amazing guy, love from Brazil to you and to all the cast of POSE. beijinhos
I LOVE BILLY... and I am SO HAPPY that Kerry presenter the award. She understands and captures the historic gravity of the moment.
And no one better than Billy to carry the torch! 🔥🙌🏾 I hope he upsets Brian Cox and Jason Bateman again this year to make it back to back wins!!
Amazing speech, amazing show, cast, all of them. Thank you Ryan Murphy 🙌
What a speech. What a speech. What a speech that was. I love him...
Well deserved! He’s got so much charm and charisma... I could listen to him speak for hours!
Amazing scene! The tears I cried seeing this! Congratulations Billy ❤️
Billy Porter is amazing! When your hat is a check mark, one way or another you winning.😉
HIS HAT?!!!! awesome! billy is so deeply and wonderfull.
i'll always be rooting for everybody black and that's all there is to it!
There are so many success stories from Star Search, Britney, Xtina, Justin, but Billy's success is one of the most important. He kept striving, kept working, kept doing his thing, and made a place for himself when others would not make a place for him. It brings me joy to live in a time where a gay black man can get on a stage, receive an award, speak his truth, and have his peers stand and applaud. The world needs more Billy Porter.

Not only do you have the right to be here, Mr. Porter, but you make the world a better place.

LETS GET ONE FOR MJ RODRIGUEZ

Kerry is looking stunning. Billy😍
I find insulting that (at least) MJ wasn't nominated. 💔

So Very WELL DESERVED !!! You are an Amazing and ASTOUNDING Performer !!! LOVE YA !!! Keep those Wins Coming !!!
The man should've won for all three seasons but I'll be satisfied with this. So tremendously deserved.
I got to the page of his book where he prints this in full and I figured I'd listen along. It's great stuff
Earned it. 1000x over and twice on Sunday.
DUDE THAT OUTFIT IS SO FUCKING FIRE
“Ryan murphi…ryan murphi…..ryaaan murphiiiii!!!” Dudeee… he really thankful for him
