Among the winners at the Spirit Awards [1] on Saturday in LA was a very special victor. For her performance in Tangerine, Mya Taylor nabbed the award for best supporting female. It's the first time a transgender actress won a major film award, notching an important and inspiring moment in film — and award show — history. Of course, the fact that the actress made it on the nominations list [2] was already historically groundbreaking, but her victory just makes the whole affair twice as sweet. Mya made sure to note the monumental benchmark during her totally endearing acceptance speech [3]. Join us in congratulating Mya on her win, and if you're interested in watching her turn in Tangerine, it was added to Netflix in December [4].
