Kate McKinnon, Sarah Paulson finally win at Emmy Awards

Saturday Night Live‘s Kate McKinnon and The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story‘s Sarah Paulson took home their first Emmy trophy after multiple nominations at the 2016 Emmy Awards Sept. 18.

Paulson, who was also nominated for her supporting role in American Horror Story: Hotel, represented one of five of the Emmy trophies taken home by the Ryan Murphy miniseries The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

Paulson played former prosecutor Marcia Clark in the FX miniseries based on the murder trail of O.J. Simpson. Paulson brought Clark as her date to the ceremony.

McKinnon won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series after four nominations for her array of characters from the long-running NBC series Saturday Night Live. Along with thanking her father who she says made her start watching SNL when she was 12, McKinnon thanked Ellen DeGeneres and presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, two of McKinnon’s most popular characters on the show.

Clinton tweeted her congratulations to McKinnon, saying “Big fan of yours, too.”

Transparent also brought home a couple of Emmys: one for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Jeffrey Tambor and one for Best Directing in a Comedy Series for creator Jill Soloway.

Soloway was inspired to create the pilot for Transparent after her father came out to her and her sister as transgender.

“I’ve always wanted to be part of a movement, the civil rights movement, the feminist movement. This TV show allows me to take my dreams about unlikable Jewish people, queer folk, trans folk and make them the heroes,” Soloway said while accepting her award. “Thank you to the trans community for your lived lives. We need to stop violence against transgender women and topple the patriarchy.”

Tambor also used his time on stage to call attention to the lack of trans women in transgender roles in Hollywood.

“Please give transgender talent a chance. Give them auditions. Give them their story,” Tambor said. “I would be happy if I were the last cisgender male to play a transgender female.”
