Cristin Milioti falls at Emmy afterparty
In the video circulating online, Milioti sported a black dress with a train, above which she wore a leather jacket. She wore fishnet socks and black heels. Donning a simple makeup look, she went for a sleek bun hairstyle. In the footage, she was headed towards the party destination, being surrounded by paparazzi.
As she looked back at the cameras while walking, she stumbled and tripped. This incident led to the trophy sliding into the other side of the area. She was helped up by those around her and was handed the trophy, which had fallen on the ground. Those around her then requested that the media give her some space.
Milioti was nominated for The Penguin at the Emmys for the first time in a lead actress role, and she won it. During her acceptance speech, she expressed gratitude for the opportunity. She said, “Thank you so much. I’m so profoundly grateful. Sorry, I wrote this [speech] on the back of notes that I took in therapy the other day, so don’t look at the back.”
Elaborating on her experience playing Sofia and reflecting on the positive sides of life, she added, “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. Making this show with our incredible cast and incredible crew, and getting to inhabit this woman, was a bright spot for me. Despite it being very grisly, playing her felt like flying.” She wholeheartedly went on to thank her “incredible family” and friends. She then shared her appreciation for showrunner Lauren LeFranc, whom she regarded as the reason for the show being “special.”
