Laverne Cox and “Baby Reindeer” star Nava Mau shared a touching moment on the 2024 Emmys red carpet on Sunday night.

Cox, who served as E! News host for the carpet event, fought back tears when Mau approached her for an interview before the ceremony.

“I have to keep it together. I’m the host,” the “Orange is the New Black” actor said. “I’m so proud of you. I’m so proud of you.” (Watch the video here.)

Cox then reflected on how 10 years ago she became the first openly transgender person to be nominated for an Emmy for acting.

And speaking of this year’s Emmys, Mau made history by becoming the first trans person to be nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Short Form Series, Anthology, or Movie category for her role in the Netflix thriller “Baby Reindeer.”

“Ten years later, I’m not the last,” said Cox, who noted that Mau is now the fourth transgender person to receive an Emmy nomination.

“I think what we’re fighting for as a community is to be able to tell stories that are from the heart. And that are based on a human foundation,” Mau said. “Because that’s who we are as trans people — we’re human.”

The “Baby Reindeer” actress said she is “very proud” of the show.

“Ultimately, I hope that as transgender people, we can continue to be ourselves on screen,” she continued.

Mau, who plays a transgender woman in “Baby Reindeer,” told The Hollywood Reporter in July that the role helped her reflect on her own experiences as a trans woman.

“I had no idea that I was internalizing so much anger and that I was stuffing it down,” she said at the time. “As a trans woman, as a Latina woman, I’ve had to do that to survive. … It’s kind of a responsibility for me to take care of other people’s emotions.”

Acting in “Baby Reindeer” was “a really powerful way to get back in tune with my body,” she added.
