The Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series goes to Liza Colón-Zayas for her role in “The Bear.”

“Thank for lowering the microphone for me, thank you so much,” Colón-Zayas began her speech.

She then noted how her husband told her not to write a speech.

“How-how could I have thought it would be possible to be in the presence” of her fellow nominees including Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett, she asked. “I love you all. I revere you all to the bottom of my heart,” she said.

Colón-Zayas also thanked the cast and directors of the show. “Thank you for giving me new life with this show,” she said. 

And finally she had a message “to all Latinas who are looking at me, keep believing and vote, vote for your rights, thank you,”
