Cristin Milioti Wins First Emmy, Falls Dropping Award at After-Party

Cristin Milioti won her first Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series for her role as Sofia Falcone in the HBO Max series The Penguin. During the Emmy Awards ceremony, she made a lighthearted joke about her speech, which she wrote on the back of therapy notes. After the ceremony, Milioti experienced a fall on her way into an after-party, during which she accidentally dropped her newly won Emmy statue. Fortunately, both she and the award were unharmed, and she handled the incident with grace, smiling and continuing to celebrate the night. Milioti expressed deep gratitude for the experience of making the show and for the support from her family. The Penguin series was a major winner at the awards, and the night marked a significant milestone in Milioti's acting career.
