Gadd: “You don't need big stars, proven IP, long-running series, catch-all storytelling to have a hit.

Notable Quotes:
Baby Reindeer’s Richard Gadd ripped his heart out for the show and once again delivered a plea to all of those feeling down and out:
“Look 10 years ago, I was down and out, right. I never ever thought I'd get my life together. I never ever thought I'd be able to rectify myself. But what happened to me and get myself back on my feet again. And then here I am, just over a decade later, picking up on the biggest writing awards and television. I don't mean that to sound arrogant. I mean it as encouragement for anyone who's going through a difficult time right now to persevere… nothing lasts forever. And no matter how bad it gets, it's always gets better. So if you're struggling, keep going, keep going. And I promise you things will be okay.”
Jeremy Allen White has given us nothing but manic intensity as the star chef of the fledgling Chicago restaurant in The Bear. Accepting the award for best actor, he became overwhelmed with joy:
“This show has changed my life. It instilled a faith that change is possible. That change is possible if you are able to reach out. You are really, truly, never actually alone.”
Watch the clip.
Jodie Foster, upon winning her Emmy for True Detective: Night Country, offered nothing but love in her thanks:
“The indigenous people, the Inupiaq and Inuit people of Northern Alaska who just, they just told us their stories and they allowed us to listen and that was just a blessing. It was love, love, love and when you feel that, something amazing happens. It's deep and wonderful and it's older than this place in this time. And that's just the message, which is love and work equals art.”
