Gilmore Girls for life.
Among the big winners at last night’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards were the shows Stranger Things, Westworld and Saturday Night Live, all of which had five wins by the close of the ceremony.
For the latter show, Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy won for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy. It was her second Emmy win - she won in 2011 for Mike and Molly - and the victory comes as little surprise following her highly acclaimed Sean Spicer impersonation in the series.
Her Gilmore Girls colleague Alexis Bledel came out a winner for the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama after being a first-time nominee at the awards. She won the award for her performance in the grim but powerful The Handmaid’s Tale, and she wore a bright blue ACLU ribbon to the ceremony.
Big Little Lies and The Crown took home two awards each while NBC’s This Is Us pulled out a big win with the last award of the night — the guest drama actor win for Gerald McRaney.
