Tonight Quinta became ONLY the second black woman to win Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She joins Isabel Sanford ,who won for her role in The Jeffersons, as the only Black women to win this award. Congratulations Quinta from Going viral on Instagram to winning Emmys. When GOD is for you no one can stop you
Can't believe I was watching her on BuzzFeed when I was a teenager on RU-vid, now I'm watching her win an Emmy on RU-vid 😭 I'm so proud of her and I've never personally interacted with her
Yes!! If I couldn't double like your comment, I would! So true, for God to even bless your vision, you first have to put it in action!! Thank you for the reminder
Quinta is a great example of following your dreams till they come true. From instagram to buzzfeed to a hit show and now multiple Emmy wins! I’m so proud.
Congrats, Quinta!! She wasn't even prepared for a speech because she clearly didn't think she would win. Such a wonderful, humble young lady..and her dress is so pretty!
I think a lot of people thought it would go to Christina Applegate. Even the Emmys production team seemed to think she might win, as they had her right off to the side of the stage just in case she needed to step back out there again. I'm glad they didn't give it to her out of any sense of pity, I am sure she wouldn't have wanted to win that way.... but man I was hoping to see Christina win. It's a shame her and Quinta couldn't have both won.
Seeing people winning Emmy's for the first times is my favorite part of award season. Their raw reactions are so inspiring to watch! Congrats Quinta on your first Emmy for acting! 🙌❤
Quinta Brunson became the first Black woman to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in over 40 years. Quinta Brunson is the first Black woman to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series since 1981 when Isabel Sanford won for The Jeffersons.
I promise I cry every time she wins... like I know her or something...lol!! She's my bestie in my head!! Congratulations Quinta!! Fake Bestie is proud of you!!
@rubyromaine3911- I predicted that Quinta was going to win, since her biggest competitor was Ayo Edibiri for “The Bear” but she was in the supporting category, instead of being in lead.
In a world where great TV is owned by cable/premium networks or streaming services, its satisfying to see a broadcast show winning again. It proves that broadcast networks are still alive and they'll keep fighting. They were the ones that started this industry, and they ain't going nowhere.
I did not know whoQuinta Bronson was until I saw her on SNL. The sketch she did in the car, was the funniest I have ever seen on tv. Till this day, everytime I think about it, I can’t stop laughing. Thankyou miss, Bronson for adding 10 years to my life thru laughter❤
This was such a perfect moment! Carol is such a classic gem and Legend who still has her wits and Quinta is a new Legend in the making and so deserves this. So happy to see her continued success 🙌🏽🔥🥹
When she did the ear tug thing, why did it make me instantly cry? I remember she did that to signal to her grandmother, so I guess knowing that her grandmother is long gone...so is her mother...and now she is in her twilight years. I instantly remembered watching Carol Burnett with my own great grandmother and my mother, also both gone now. How many of us sat and watched "Went with the Wind" with our loved ones, now gone, nearly 50 years ago!?!?!?!
I put this on for background one day as it's not something I would normally watch (sorry hate shows with kids) it's so well written and the cast is incredible. Quinta Brunson is an amazingly talented actress, writer etc. So glad she won this!
Quintas journey from Buzzfeed to Black Lady Sketch show to Abbott Elementary is a masterpiece in resilience, incredible talent, and hard work. Seeing her grow in the last decade has been a privilege. Talent like hers comes once every generation. You go girl! ❤
She is a tiny spark of fire, Quinta is. So deserving And when Carol passes, as with all the other greats who’ve passed, I’m looking forward to joining them in the afterlife along with my ex-husband and all the animals for a never-ending party. 🎉
