It has already been pointed out that the pointy headed Liberals who infest Hollyweird have nominated Obama for an emmy, No Joke: Obama Nominated For An Emmy Award For Obamacare Interview…,
now it appears they are prepared to make history by nominating the first transgender.

"The Emmy Awards made history Thursday when the TV Academy nominated its first openly transgender actor.

Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox, who plays Sophia Burset on the Netflix prison dramedy from creator Jenji Kohan, received a nomination in the outstanding guest actress in a comedy series category — the first time an openly transgender actress has been recognized for an Emmy, according to the TV Academy. Her nomination is one of a dozen Orange Is the New Black received, including outstanding comedy series and acting recognition for stars Taylor Schilling, Kate Mulgrew, Uzo Aduba and Natasha Lyonne.

"I’m on cloud nine. I’m through the roof,” the actress, who recently graced the cover of Time magazine, told The Hollywood Reporter early Thursday. The cultural impact of Orange, which launched its second season in June, has not been not lost on Cox: "We're definitely part of a moment."

“What a wonderful, wonderful day for Orange and for black trans-women,” she said. Referring to the attention the series has received, she added: "People are obsessed. Would you ever have thought a show about a women’s prison would have this moment? It’s unbelievable."

Her Orange co-stars also celebrated Cox's Emmy nomination, with Mulgrew saying that "it’s recognition of a community that very much needs and wants to be recognized, understood and rewarded." She added: "I think that Laverne as both an activist and an actor is doing a Herculean job of bringing transgenderism to the forefront of American politics and culture.""

Really a tough call trying to figure out who's going to win in this particular category. Or Bambi's.
