- Herself - Winnerr: I apparently brought my blotting thing up with me as well. Okay. I don't need that. You know what that was like out there. It was - I'm just starting to cool down, but please I want to thank the members of the Television Academy for this incredible honor. I mean, how many - there were eight of us in this category. I feel like I won the lottery because you all are amazing and should be up here as well. So thank you for that. Chuck Lorre... I usually - I'm off book. I'm always off book. Everyone who knows me and has worked with me knows that. This is an exception. Chuck Lorre, you are truly masterful at what you do. It is an honor to get to work with you. Thank you for creating such a deeply flawed character and immediately thinking of me to play her. Eddie Gorodetsky, Gemma Baker, and Nick Bakay, all of our writers. Anna Faris, you are as generous with the moment as you are with your heart. I adore you. Thank you to the watermelon players, the entire cast and crew. Les Moonves. God speed to Nina Tassler who - I should be singing this - to Peter Roth for your unfailing support to my team, Leslie, Karen, Peter, Friza, Lana, mom and dad and Phil, oh, and - okay. And one serious thing. So many lives are touched by addiction, and it is a privilege to work on a show that reminds us that there is hope, lots of hope. Thank you very much for this.
- Himself - Winner: Man alive. Thank you. We would like to thank our extraordinary cast. It's been our privilege to write for you for the last five years. We'd like to thank our fellow writers, our producers, our directors, our crew in Baltimore. And we'd like to thank HBO for letting us come over here and make fun of American politics and make American money.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series: This is nuts. I'm so excited. Our writers just won because they make it possible to do what we do, and I am so thankful. Thank you guys very much. To the other nominees, you guys make me laugh hard. My family, my wife Martel, my daughter Loy, who I love so much. My extended family in Alabama, my mom, my dad, my brother Mike, my sister Kim. My family of young actors Peter, Todd, and Saphora, HBO, Michael Lombardo, Casey, Jonathan Weinstein, Logan Eisenburg, Rob Greenwald, Steven Levy. I just have a fear my zipper's down. I want to thank Mitch Horowitz because he gave me my first job. And finally to my "Veep" family, not only are these people so good at what they do, but they're good people. I'm telling you at the end of the day, that's what matters, and I am so grateful to be working with them. Thank you so, so, so much.
- Herself - Nominated: Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series/Outstanding Comedy Series & Winner: Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series: All righty. Let's see. I made a promise. Thank you, Goddess. Thank you Goddess. I promised the Goddess I would thank her. So - and Amazon. Goddess first, Amazon second. And the Academy and Jeff Bezos, Joe Lewis, Ray Price, for giving me this incredible artistic freedom. My producing partners, Andrea Sperling and Victor Hsu and Rick Rosenthal. My crew, Jim Frohna, my cinematographer and the rest of the crew, my beautiful, beautiful writers, actors, especially Jeffrey Tambor and how you channel Maura. My family, Felix, Isaac, and Bruce, who puts the music in the show and the music in everything. My other family, my sister, Faith; my momma, Lane; and my moppa, Carry. Thank you, Moppa, for coming out and coming to L.A. and coming here tonight. And something interesting about my moppa, Carry, she could tomorrow go and try to find an apartment, and in 32 states, it would be illegal for the landlord to look her in the eye and say, "We don't rent to transpeople." We don't have a trans tipping point yet. We have a trans and civil rights problem. So go to transequality.org, and go to vote to pass the Transequality Bill. Thank you.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series: Thank you. I am so, so honored. You know, I had - Well, this entirely ruins the nomination room. Let me be very clear about that. I had a teacher who used to say, you know, when you act, you have to act as if your life depends on it. And now, I've been given the opportunity to act because people's lives depend on it. I'd like to thank Jill Soloway for giving me the privilege and the responsibility of Maura Pfefferman from the Pacific Palisades. I would like to thank this gorgeous cast. Every time and everywhere you rest your eye, there is genius. I would like to thank my teachers, Ms. Ernst, Zachary Drucker, Jenny Boyland, Van Barns. Thank you, Leslie Siebert and Joanie Bernstein for putting this in my hand. You said that Jill Soloway was going to change my life and, in fact, that happened. Thank you to my lovely wife, Kasia. You're the reason - I wouldn't even be standing here. Hi, Liv. And thank you to Roy Price, Joe Luis, and the brilliant publicity team at Amazon, my new BFFs. Did I thank Leslie Siebert? Because she really wanted it? Good. And I'm going to wrap up by saying - not to repeat myself, but to specifically repeat myself - I'd like to dedicate my performance and this award to the transgender community. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your stories. Thank you for your inspiration. Thank you for letting us be part of the change. Good bless you.
- Herself - Winner: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series: Thank you so much. Thank you very much to, of course, the Academy. I think it would be appropriate at this moment to quote our political satire "Veep": What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight. Oh, wait. Oh, God. Oh, no, no. I'm so sorry. Donald Trump said that. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's getting trickier and trickier to satirize this stuff. I'd like to thank HBO, Richard Plepler, Mike Lombardo, Casey Bloys, for their never-ending support; in fact, their friendship. Imagine that. Armando Iannucci, our fearless leader, all of our wonderful writers. Wow, our intrepid crew in Baltimore. Our cast, which oh, my God, I love all of you guys, of course. I really do. Our - I can't read anything. I've lost my eyesight. So I can't see anything anymore. Karen Kawahara, Daniel Howell. Please wrap up. I will. I'd like to honor also all the women in this category. I love funny women. I love powerful, funny women and Amy, wake up. I love you gals so much. I do, in fact. And I'd like to give my love to my husband and my two beautiful boys Hen and Cha. Thanks, you guys. This is just mind-blowing. Thank you.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Reality-Competition Program: Wow. Sorry "Amazing Race." This is our year this year. Thank you so much to the Academy and to the millions of fans that made this America's favorite music show. I want to thank Warner Horizon and Talpa, of course, NBC Universal. Hands off, right from the top, is Steve Burke and Bob Greenblatt in the trenches every day, Walter Linley, Meredith Haggard, Joe Rivas, an incredible team of producers up here, led by Lee Metzger, Carson Daly, Audrey Morrissey, and too many others to mention up here. But trust me. Everyone is doing all the work. And, of course, Adam, Blake, Pharrell, Christina, and Gwen. Thank you, academy.
- Herself - Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special: Wow. First, let me just acknowledge all my fellow writers out there who are nominated tonight. We all face that horrible, horrible blank page and we're here and we solved our scripts, so isn't that remarkable? Before I run out, quickly, Elizabeth Strout was the author who wrote "Olive Kitteridge." I share this with her. And then there is Francis McDormand, my fierce, brilliant friend who got this all started. Lisa Cholodenko who treated the script with such tenderness and loveliness, and our magnificent actors. And then there's HBO and Playtone, and you guys are the best people to work for. Thank you for being the wind under our sails. And, of course, I have to thank my wrapping it up. Tess, I love you, my beautiful spouse and our beautiful son. Oh, my God. Goodbye. Thank you.
- Herself - Winner: Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie: Wow. Wow. Okay. That Taraji and Terrence gave that to me, that's pretty special. I should have brought one of those papers that all of the comedy people had. I wasn't expecting this. So I'm just going to listen to God and just give gratitude for all the love that surrounds me. Thank you, Paul Lee, Gina Dungee, ABC. Thank you, Sarah Fischer, Mary Howard, and Betsy Beers because I would not have been able to do this role if they did not work that scheduling out. Thank you. John Ridley, you are genius. Thank you so, so much for your creativity and just seeing me to be a part of your expression. I - you are just my joy. Michael McDonald, I love you. My team, ICM, Joe - John Carrabino, Larry Bartlett, Chuck James, Dar Rollins, you've been with me for 20 years. Let's do it 20 more. My sister, Reina King. My amazing mother and grandmother, who have taught me the power and the blessing of being a woman. The people in Texas right now, "American Crime" family, the greatest cast and crew. Elvis Nolasco, it was an honor, sir. And this is just absolutely amazing. My son Ian. The fact that I get to share this night with you, the best date in the house, oh, man. You make being a mother my greatest accomplishment. I love you. Cheers.
- Herself - Winner: Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special: Edith and Calder, I hope you guys are watching, not playing basketball out front. I'm going to put this down and say a few words. Like my comedy fellows, I'm going to get out my piece of paper. Whoa. Well, making this movie, this four-hour movie, was really a - sort of a metaphysical, supernatural, transpersonal "dark night of the soul" kind of experience. So I'm glad it was a comedy. Frances McDormand, thank you for trusting me to be your - the captain. Jane, for your magnificent script. It was irresistible. I had to do it. Richard - Richard - Bill, who is at his son's wedding, maybe, and Zoe Kazan, I treasure my experience with you guys. You are the best. I think I've got to wrap up. So I'm just going to talk about Gary Goetzman and Steven Shareshian, who I adore and love you. And thank you, HBO, Mike Lombardo and Kary Antholis. I thank you. Gail, and Bart, I thank you. You are my anchor in life. Wendy and Calder, you are my Buddhas in life. And I just want to give a shout out to Fred Elmes, who I adore, Cinematographer. Carter Burwell and Julie Berghoff, I share it with you. Thank you.
- Herself - Winner: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie: Hi. My colleagues, Jane and Lisa, have already given the thank yous that need to be said. We're all here because of the power of a story well told. Sometimes that's enough. Thank you.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or a Movie: That was Lady Gaga that just gave me this. "So, Dad, what did you do last night?" "Not much." I would like to thank HBO. I would like to thank Playtone. Now I would like to thank the incredible women who made "Olive Kitteridge" happen, and there's about a hundred thousand of them, but, of course, Jane Anderson, Elizabeth Strout, Lisa Cholodenko, the fabulous you think I don't know her, do you? - the fabulous Zoe Kazan. And I want to say thank you to Frances McDormand for giving me this opportunity, for calling me and saying, "I want you to come on this journey with me." And thank you, Fran, for letting me surf your enthusiasm and your artistry for four months. It was a ball. And to Sarah and Adam and Andy and Ashley and my wife who has been my wife for 46 years. I love you. Thank you. Thank you very much.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Limited Series: Thank you all for loving "Olive." We sure loved making it. I guess, Fran, say a few words. Thank HBO.
- Herself - Winner: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie: Yay, HBO.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Limited Series: Michael Lombardo.
- Herself - Winner: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie: Richard Plepler, Carrie, everybody, everybody that birthed this baby. And it was started as a book. It started as a book. Okay, Andy? Thank you.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Limited Series: Elizabeth Strout, fantastic. Take it.
- Herself - Winner: Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special: Yeah, it was a amazing. We're here to tell the tale. We are so thrilled. We love all of you. Thank you.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Limited Series: Love it. Thanks.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Outstanding Variety Talk Series: Thank you very much. I was told I would not be the one talking tonight, so I did not prepare very much. I'd like to thank, first off, everyone else in the category for making this the strongest, most competitive category, I think, in the entire ceremony. Amazing, fantastic shows. And I'd like to thank, on behalf of the staff, everyone who works at "The Daily Show," worked at "The Daily Show," continues to work at "The Daily Show," for being fantastic and amazing. And our families and all the people we know who are very nice to us all the time. And agents and things like that. And most of all, I'd like to thank Mr. Jon Stewart himself for giving us a place - a place that - a place we could all work and be very proud of what we were doing for a long, long time and where so many of us got the chance to start out at the lowest bottom of the totem pole and rise up to places we could be really excited about and make our parents happy with. So thank you very much.
- Herself - Winner, Nominee & Presenter: Oh, my God. Man, we all had to get final draft once they picked up our show. We didn't own it. We care so much about this show. First of all, I want to thank Jessi Klein, the head writer, who had a baby, like, ten seconds ago. I almost made a stupid sex talk show that nobody wanted, and she got drunk and told me that I had to follow my dreams and make my dream show. Thank you, Comedy Central, all of the suits who represent me. The writers, I love you so much. We've been together for - we've got two more years, and I'm so proud. And this show fights for what we believe in. Please wrap up. I know I should have written something down. Thanks, everybody, who has helped me in my the girl who gave me this, sort of, smoky eye. I really love it. And I want to thank my family. And Dan Powell, I love you so much, Dan. We created this show together. I want to thank my sister, Kim, who is the only reason that I'm alive and breathing, and Kevin Kane, thank you so much. I love you. And Steve Ast, thank you so much.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Directing for a Variety Series: Whoa, thank you. Thank you. I'm not used to being up here. I'm used to being on the other side of the camera, so excuse me. A quick thanks to the Academy. To Jon Stewart, 15 wonderful years, great time. To my wonderful wife Michelle. To all the people I work with at "The Daily Show," you guys are the best. This is for you. Thank you.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Outstanding Variety Talk Series: Thank you. Thank you. Without the music it really feels very judgmental. I gotta tell you. Everybody's staring, going, "It's been 10 seconds. Entertain us." To everybody on television, I just want to tell you cling to it as long as you can. Like death. Like in "The Titanic," the guy who was - cling to it. I have been off of television for six weeks, seven weeks, whatever it is. This is the first applause I've heard. It is a barren wasteland out there where they say hello, whatever, but did you know okay. You have craft services. Okay. Out in the world there are tables with food, but you can't take it. It costs money. Very little of it is gluten-free or vegan. Anyway, these people, I love desperately. I will never work with a group of people like this. I will never have an experience like this again. Comedy Central blessed me with this, and these guys did all the work. And LL Cool J, I think, was referring to me as a new jack, I believe. I was the new jack.
- Himself - Presenter: Outstanding Variety Talk Series: Yeah, you were.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Outstanding Variety Talk Series: Sounds better out of him. Thank you so very much. You will never have to see me again. Thank you.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series: George Martin, happy birthday, sir, and thank you for inviting us all into your dream. To HBO, especially Richard Plepler and Mike Lombardo, thank you for taking a chance on two schmucks with no experience.
- Himself - Co-Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series: Wow. When people say they didn't plan things, I always thought they were. Oh, our amazing cast and crew our amazing cast and crew, let's not forget them. Rain, sleet, snow desert's darkness, they always deliver their brilliance and dedication. Our producing team, year after year, achieves the impossible, especially the inimitably Bernie Caulfield.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series: And for our families, thank you to our parents and to our beautiful wives. Amanda Peet, I love you, Frankie, Molly, Henry.
- Himself - Co-Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series: Andrea, Leo, Hugo, this one is for you.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series: Hi. Okay. I really just want to say thank you a thousand times. If I could say thank you a thousand times, it would not be enough to cover the amount of thanks that I feel for you, Jenji Kohan. I love you so much. I appreciate you for putting belief back in my heart. I love you. Thank you for making this show, for creating this space, for creating a platform. Thank you to our family at Netflix and Lionsgate. You all are incredible. I love you so much for your kindness. Thank you, Cindy. Thank you, Ted. Thank you, Neri. Thank you, Lisa. Thank you, Trim. Thank you, Nina. Thank you, Peter. Everybody, just everybody, our whole family. I want to say thank you to my cast and our crew. I love you guys. I'm so thankful to stand beside a set of artists who are so brilliant. I want to say thank you to our team, my team that I work with, my manager, Lainey, my agents, my lawyers, all of them. You guys are incredible. And I love you mostly because you let me be me. And finally, I really just want to say thank you to my family who have stood beside me my entire life. My sister Chi-Chi, you are my very best friend. I am humbled to call myself your sister. I love you so much. Thank you to the Academy. Thank you to our fellow actors. Just thank you very much. God bless you.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series: Wow. What am I doing up here? Thank you to the Academy. Thank you, HBO. Thank you, David and Dan, for your faith. And thank you, Bernie Caulfield and Chris Newman, for your support. And thank you Lena Headey and the entire wonderful cast of "Game of Thrones." And thank you, Robin Walkman and Tim Porter and Tobey Ford. And I'm shaking. Yes, I'm shaking. That's the deal. But most importantly, I wouldn't be up here tonight without this lady here. Let me introduce you to my wife Birgit. Without her I wouldn't be anywhere. She supported me, and she held me up forever. Thank you, Ben. Thank you Zoe. And thank you, Ralph Clemente, for the man who taught me the most. Thank you so much.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series: There has been a terrible mistake, clearly. Thank you for that. This is impossible. It's impossible to be named with all of those extraordinary gentlemen. It's impossible to be standing here, up here. It's impossible to have done this show with this incredible cast, these incredible people, these incredible writers, our incredible crew. The network and studio who put this on, Lionsgate and AMC. Am I saying that right? And it's incredible and impossible for me personally to be standing here, so I want to thank the people to whom I owe an incredible debt, people who in my life have gotten me here, families who have chosen for some reason to take me in and be nice to me along this strange, strange road. So to Bud and Susie and Maryann and Ted and Ernie and Caroline and Vick and Linda and Gary and Sue and my sisters and Cora and Jen. Thank you all very much. I would not be standing here without you. Thank you to everyone who watched the show, and thank you for this.
- Herself - Presenter: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series & Winner: Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series: In my mind, I see a line. And over that line I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line. But I can't seem to get there no how. I can't seem to get over that line." That was Harriet Tubman in the 1800s. And let me tell you something. The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there. So here's to all the writers, the awesome people that are Ben Sherwood, Paul Lee, Peter Nowalk, Shonda Rhimes, people who have redefined what it means to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be a leading woman, to be black. And to the Taraji P. Hensons, the Kerry Washingtons, the Halle Berrys, the Nicole Beharies, the Meagan Goods. To Gabrielle Union. Thank you for taking us over that line. Thank you to the Television Academy. Thank you.
- Himself - Co-Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series and Co-Winner: Outstanding Comedy Series: This is nuts. I'm so excited. Our writers just won because they make it possible to do what we do, and I am so thankful. Thank you guys very much. To the other nominees, you guys make me laugh hard. My family, my wife Martel, my daughter Loy, who I love so much. My extended family in Alabama, my mom, my dad, my brother Mike, my sister Kim. My family of young actors Peter, Todd, and Saphora, HBO, Michael Lombardo, Casey, Jonathan Weinstein, Logan Eisenburg, Rob Greenwald, Steven Levy. I just have a fear my zipper's down. I want to thank Mitch Horowitz because he gave me my first job. And finally to my "Veep" family, not only are these people so good at what they do, but they're good people. I'm telling you at the end of the day, that's what matters, and I am so grateful to be working with them. Thank you so, so, so much.

My family, Felix, Isaac, and Bruce, who puts the music in the show and the music in everything. My other family, my sister, Faith; my momma, Lane; and my moppa, Carry. Thank you, Moppa, for coming out and coming to L.A. and coming here tonight. And something interesting about my moppa, Carry, she could tomorrow go and try to find an apartment, and in 32 states, it would be illegal for the landlord to look her in the eye and say, "We don't rent to transpeople." We don't have a trans tipping point yet. We have a trans and civil rights problem. So go to transequality.org, and go to vote to pass the Transequality Bill. Thank you.
- Himself - Co-Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series: We forgot to thank the great David Nutter for directing the episode for which we won our award. We also forgot to thank Todd, Guymon and Gretchen for having our backs for all these years. Nina Gold and Robert Sterne are the casting directors responsible for our amazing cast, of whom these are only a few. Over the years, they've provided us with a group of people that we are so fortunate to work with and call friends. Thank you, Nina and Robert.
- Himself - Winner: Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series: And thank you to HBO, in their wisdom, paired a couple of novice producers with people of experience. We want to thank them. They're standing behind us, Bernie Caulfield, Chris Newman, Frank Doelger, Carolyn Strauss. We would you know, you're the reason we're up here. And finally, just thanks again HBO for believing in dragons. Thank you. And thank you all for watching.
