Shout it from the rooftops, let it echo down the halls of power: \u201cI love acting so much, wooo!\u201d That\u2019s how Cristin Milioti ended her acceptance speech at the 2025 Emmy Awards.<\/a> Milioti won Outstanding Mullet<\/a> Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her role in The Penguin. Milioti played Sofia Falcone, scion-ette of the Falcone crime family, who battles Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell) for control of Gotham. Milioti tried to keep her speech short (Nate Bargatze\u2019s countdown clock<\/a> keeps on ticking), but was overcome with enthusiasm for her profession and her coworkers. Which is how award shows should be, quite frankly!<\/p>\n

Milioti said she wrote her speech on the back of her therapy notes, \u201cso don\u2019t look at the back.\u201d Not the same situation as Britt Lower<\/a>. \u201cI loved making this show and I\u00a0loved playing Sofia so much,\u201d she said.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s very hard to make sense of\u00a0being alive right now in this\u00a0world, so I\u2019m deeply grateful for\u00a0the bright spots. And making this\u00a0show with our incredible cast\u00a0and crew, and getting to inhabit\u00a0this woman was a bright spot for\u00a0me, despite it being very grisly.\u00a0Playing her felt like flying.\u201d Milioti thanked her family for showing her movies \u201cthat were very inappropriate for my age,\u201d her friends, Farrell, and The Penguin show runner Lauren LeFranc, \u201cwhose\u00a0brain I want to freebase.\u201d How very appropriate for the character.<\/a><\/p>\n
