Before she addressed media backstage, Emmy winner Alison Janney made organisers cut back to the ceremony so she could see who would win the next award. It was Noah Wyle, for his performance in The Pitt.
Janney, who made an instantly meme-able facial expression when she was announced as the best supporting actress in a drama, says she was “genuinely shocked” by her win because of how big of a deal The Pitt has become
“We really didn’t think it was going to go my way. So I felt just excited and relaxed,” she says.
She was, she says, “100% sure I wasn’t gonna win”.
Janney adds: “I didn’t have to go through that at all today. It was lovely getting ready for this event and this is a great surprise.”
