\n\t\u201cIf you try to play me off, I\u2019ll stab you in the eyes with this,\u201d Rhys cheekily said onstage upon receiving his statuette. \u201cThis is a real shock, not least because the caliber and company of the actors in this program. We had a holy trinity of scribes in the glorious form of Daniel Pearle, Gabe Rotter, and Howard Gordon, who really brought out the beast in all of us. We were guided so beautifully by Antonio Campos, but certainly led ferociously, fiercely, fervently by the incredible Claire Danes. Thank you for letting me join the mystery machine and bringing out the beast. You are an intimidating scene partner, but I\u2019m very grateful for for all this.\u201d<\/p>\n
