Still, Seehorn—who bested Zendaya, Carrie Coon, Chase Infiniti and Keri Russell to receive her first Emmy—delivered her speech with a perfect balance of poise and honesty.
“This is me on a beta blocker,” she joked while on stage. “It’s pretty bad. Thank you to the Television Academy so much and all of the member that voted and I also want to say congratulations and thank you for the performances to my fellow nominees.”
In fact, Seehorn was so bold as to shut down the ceremony’s infamous wrap up signal so she could deliver proper gratitude to Pluribus creator Vince Gilligan.
“They’re telling me to wrap it up but no,” she continued. “Thank you, Vince Gilligan, for giving me not only the role of a lifetime but for creating sets where we all get to collaborate and we are actually made to feel safe to take risks so that we get better as artists.”
