Transparent Creator Jill Soloway Wins Emmy, Encourages Hollywood To “Topple The Patriarchy”

Transparent Creator Jill Soloway Wins Emmy, Encourages Hollywood To “Topple The Patriarchy”

Transparent creator Jill Soloway won the Emmy for Comedy Direction and voiced her happiness at being able to be “part of a movement” by putting queer people at the center of a television series changing the world.

“Thank you to the trans community for your lived lives,” she said before encouraging viewers to “topple the patriarchy.”

Additionally, Kate McKinnon brought home a win early on in the 68th annual Emmy Awards In Los Angeles, snagging the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on Saturday Night Live.

The out lesbian star fought back tears as she thanked some of the women she’s imitated in several now-legendary skits, including Ellen Degeneres and Hillary Clinton.

Sarah Paulson took home the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her portrayal of Marcia Clark in The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. (Paulson is bisexual.)

One of the evening’s standout moments occurred during Jeffrey Tambor’s acceptance speech. The actor claimed the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as transgender woman Maura Pfefferman in Transparent and challenged Hollywood to be more inclusive of trans people.

“Listen to me, I’m not gonna say this beautifully, but to you people out there, you producers and network owners and you agents and you creative sparks, please give transgender talent a chance. Give them auditions. Give them their story,” he said to an applauding audience. “I would not be unhappy were I the last cisgender male to play a female gender on television. We have work to do.”

His sentiments were echoed later in the evening by transgender actress Laverne Cox, who thanked Orange is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan for giving her the opportunity to play her breakout role in the series.

Watch the moving moment from Tambor’s Emmy acceptance speech below.

The 68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards aired live on ABC tonight from Los Angeles and several LGBTQ creators, actors, and inclusive series took home awards. Transparent creator Jill Soloway and star Jeffrey Tambor used their stage time to draw attention to the transgender community and some of the issues they face, as did presenter Laverne Cox.

Soloway, the out creator of Transparent, picked up the award in Outstanding Directing in a Comedy series. This is her second year in a row winning in this category. “When you take women, people of color, trans people, queer people and you put them at the center of the story, the subjects instead of the objects. You change the world,” Soloway said. “[…] Thank you to the trans community for your lived lives. We need to stop violence against transgender women and topple the patriarchy!”

Tambor won the award in Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his portrayal of Maura on Transparent, this is his second win in the category for this role. Tambor used his stage time to call for more trans talent to be included on screen. “To you people out there, to you producers, and you network owners, and you agents and you creative sparks: please give transgender talent a chance. Give them auditions, give them their story, do that. One more thing, I would not be unhappy were I the last cisgender male to play a female transgender [character] on television. We have work to do!” Orange is the New Black and Doubt star Laverne Cox echoed the sentiment when she got on stage to present another category.

“Please give transgender talent a chance. Give them an audition. Give them their story!” @jeffreytambor nailed it. #Emmys
