Rodriguez is nominated for her acclaimed performance as Blanca Rodriguez in FX’s Pose, which recently ended its third and final season. It’s her first-ever TCA Awards nod.

There will be no formal in-person presentation for the second year in a row due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A full list of winners will be announced later this summer.

“This was an incredible year for fresh, inclusive content and new creators, and our nominations are a reflection of that,” Melanie McFarland, TCA President and TV Critic for Salon said in a statement. “The TCA membership selected from a wealth of original offerings that broke fresh ground and presented exciting, thought-provoking experiences that redefined the television landscape.
