Monday started on a great note for actor Michaela Jae Rodriguez as she won her first Golden Globe today. Rodriguez received the Best Television Actress award for her performance in the 'Pose' show at the 79th Golden Globes. "This year's drama series had us on the edge of our seats. Congratulations to @MjRodriguez7 for taking home the #GoldenGlobe for Best Television Actress -- Drama Series," a tweet read on the official Twitter handle of Golden Globes.

For the unversed, Rodriguez made history last year as the first trans performer to earn an Emmy nomination in the lead acting categories. And now on receiving the Golden Globe, Rodriguez took to Instagram and expressed her joy.
