Cristin Milioti won her first Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a limited series or TV movie for her role in “The Penguin.”

Milioti said she wrote her speech on the back of notes that she took in therapy, prompting laughs from the audience.

“I loved making this show and I loved playing Sofia so much," she said in her acceptance speech. "It's very hard to make sense of being alive right now in this world, and so I'm deeply grateful for the bright spots. And making this show, with our incredible cast and crew, and getting to inhabit this woman, was a bright spot for me -- despite it being very grisly. Playing her felt like flying.”

In a joyous end to her speech, Milioti shouted, "I love acting so much!"

The other nominees in this cateogry were: Cate Blanchett, “Disclaimer”; Meghann Fahy, “Sirens”; Rashida Jones, “Black Mirror”; and Michelle Williams, “Dying for Sex.”

The variety show celebrating the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live" won the award for outstanding live variety special.

"SNL" creator Lorne Michaels took the stage to accept the award for the show.

In his speech, Michaels joked about the show's budget, saying, "The show was two years in the planning, and they [NBC] said, we don't care what it costs, as long as it's good. Maybe they didn't say that, maybe that's just the way I heard it."

Other specials receiving nominations were "Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show starring Kendrick Lamar,"

"Beyonce Bowl," "The Oscars" and "SNL50: The Homecoming Concert."

Stars from Sydney Sweeney and Selena Gomez to Steve Martin and Martin Short seemed to be enjoying the Emmys as they watched the award ceremony from their seats.
