Once again, I have to thank Peter Morgan, Stephen Daldry, Andy Harries, Ted Sarandos of Netflix, my reps, my wife, the magnificent English crew and company of actors led by the wonderful Claire Foy. (Applause.) But most of all, I have to thank Winston Churchill. In these crazy times, his life, even as an old man, reminds us what courage and leadership in government really looks like.

AWARD 2 OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES KATE MCKINNON ‑ "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" KATE McKINNON: Yikes. Well, I can't ‑‑ thank you so much.

AWARD 3 OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A LIMITED SERIES OR MOVIE LAURA DERN – “BIG LITTLE LIES” LAURA DERN: I've been acting since I was 11 years old, and I think I've worked with maybe 12 women.

Thanks to Liane Moriarty for writing these vulnerable flowers like Renada. Thank you, HBO. Jean‑Marc Vallee, I stand here like a host of others because of your brilliance and your bravery. And [unintelligible] the most incredible crew and cast. But thank you to Nicole and Reese's moms for not only giving us extraordinary women but really‑well‑read women because that's how I'm getting parts. I share this with my tribe of four ladies.

I want to thank my parents who are in the audience. This is nuts my brother. All the writers. FX, John Landgraf for letting us tell these stories.

And I just love everybody out here for, you know, letting me be up here. So thank you. Thank you all. AWARD 5 OUTSTANDING VARIETY SKETCH SERIES "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" LORNE MICHAELS: I remember the first time we won this award. It was after our first season in 1976. And I remember thinking as I was standing there alone that this was it. This was the high point. There would never be another season as crazy, as unpredictable, as frightening, as exhausting, or as exhilarating. Turns out I was wrong. (Laughter.) Thank you. AWARD 6 OUTSTANDING WRITING FOR A DRAMA SERIES BRUCE MILLER - "THE HANDMAID'S TALE" – “OFFRED (PILOT)” BRUCE MILLER: Thank you so much. Thank you to the Academy, to my wife Tracy who is over there, to my children, Ben, Duncan and Tess, my father Stan. This really belongs to three women: Reed Morano, who is over here, who directed the pilot episode of "The Handmaid's Tale"; to Margaret Atwood who ‑‑ (Applause.) ‑‑ scared the living crap out of me when I was in college; and to Lizzy Moss who leaves me speechless. So thank you to everybody who ‑‑ and MGM who stood behind this show and to our incredible staff and our incredible crew. So thank you all very, very much. AWARD 7 OUTSTANDING SUPPORT ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES Alec Baldwin ‑ "Saturday Night Live" ALEC BALDWIN: I suppose I should say, at long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy. (Applause.) I want to thank my wife. My wife and I had three children in three years, and we didn't have a child last year during the "SNL" season. I wonder if there's a correlation there. All you men out there, you put that orange wig on, it's birth control. Trust me. (Laughter.) Thank you to Lorne, always to Lorne. Thank you to Chris and Sarah and to [unintelligible] and to all the great writers there at "SNL." Congratulations to Kate and thank you to the cast. Thank you to Lindsey and to Grace for making me feel welcome there. Thank you to Steve Higgins for giving me a lot of encouragement. I just want to say if I leave anybody out, I'm sorry, but I do want to get this in. Which is I always remember what someone told me, that is when you die, you don't remember a bill that Congress passed or a decision the supreme court made or an address made by the president. You remember a song. You remember a line from a movie. You remember a play. You remember a book, a painting, a poem. What we do is important. And for all of you out there in motion pictures and television, don't stop doing what you're doing. The audience is counting on you. Thank you. AWARD 8 OUTSTANDING DIRECTING FOR A LIMITED SERIES OR MOVIE Jean‑Marc Vallée ‑ "Big Little Lies" JEAN‑MARC VALLÉE: Man, I love this song. Thank you very much. This is quite an honor.

Like Dave Chappelle, I would like to unexpectedly thank DC public school because I think it would be great if it started trending on to Twitter for no reason whatsoever. So if you're tweeting about the Emmys at home, please use the hashtag #dcpublicschools. (Laughter.) I'd like to thank Oprah because she's sitting there and it seems inappropriate not to. And HBO, Liz Stanton, [unintelligible] and all of our stars who are absolutely amazing. We are so proud you. You are the absolute greatest. Thanks very much. Play me off, please. Thank you.
