Reacting to her nod, Mau told Deadline that she had been crying with "overwhelming joy".

"For trans actors we just don't get a lot of opportunities to develop our craft, grow as artists, and to be recognized for all that we are and all that we can be," she added.

"It has been a priceless experience being a part of this show. Every step of the way, I could feel the way the experience was transforming me, my life, and what feels possible. To be recognized by my peers in the Academy is a celebration of that transformation."

The star continued: "We can see that when trans people are given the opportunity, we will grow into it and so far beyond any expectation."

Baby Reindeer is based on Gadd's real-life stalking experience, and focuses on Gadd's character Donny Dunn as he is stalked by Martha (Jessica Gunning).

Opening up about the "real" element of her character Teri, who forms a romantic relationship with Donny, Mau previously told Digital Spy and other press: "When I read [the script], I could tell that Richard really loved her, whoever inspired this character.

"I think I knew that it was based on real life and it seemed really important to show people that trans women exist in real life and in relationships with real people. I could see Richard's heart in the writing and I hope that people will see it too."

You seasons 1-4 are streaming on Netflix. A fifth and final season has been announced. Baby Reindeer is streaming now on Netflix.
