AceShowbiz - Chyna McQueen recently shared her astonishment after receiving a BAFTA TV Award nomination for her role in the crime drama Get Millie Black, which airs on HBO and Channel 4. Speaking to Deadline via Zoom from her New York City home, she described trying to process the rapid series of events that led to this recognition.

The nomination, for Best Supporting Actress, is particularly significant as it was the only BAFTA nod for the show. More importantly, it marks a historic moment in the awards’ legacy, as Chyna McQueen is among the first Jamaican actresses and the first Black Trans performer to earn a BAFTA TV nomination. This milestone highlights both her remarkable performance and the growing diversity within the television industry.

Despite the excitement, McQueen remains grounded and is taking time to absorb the news. Discussions are reportedly underway regarding a potential second season of Get Millie Black, though nothing has been confirmed yet. The show’s future and McQueen’s continued involvement remain subjects of ongoing conversation among the creators and producers.

This nomination not only celebrates Chyna McQueen’s talent but also signifies a broader push toward inclusivity and recognition of underrepresented voices in mainstream television awards. As the entertainment world continues to evolve, her achievement sets a precedent that could inspire many more diverse performers in the years to come.
