OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A COMEDY SERIES

Donna Lynne Champlin as Paula Procter for (“Getting Over Jeff.”) in “CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND”
Betty Gilpin as Debbie "Liberty Belle" Eagan for (“This is One of Those Moments”) in “GLOW”
Rita Moreno as Lydia Riera for (“Exclusive”) in “ONE DAY AT A TIME”
Megan Mullally as Karen Walker for (“Rosario's Quinceañera”) in “WILL & GRACE”
Yvonne Orji as Molly Parker for (“Hella Shook”) in “INSECURE”
Jamie Pressley as Jill Kendall for (“Esta Loca and a Little Klingon”) in “MOM”

AND THE WINNER IS:


RITA MORENO AS LYDIA RIERA FOR (“EXCLUSIVE”) IN “ONE DAY AT A TIME”

This is the second win and third nomination for Rita Moreno. She previously won for One Day at a Time (2017) and was also nominated along with the ensemble of the show.

What cannot be said that I didn’t say last year when I awarded Moreno this same prize. She just is a legend and unlike some legends, the work I’m rewarding her for is not about life achievement but that her work is worthy of wins. Lydia went through a possible departure in the season finale and I felt myself possibly robbed of more Moreno but thankfully her character will still be featured on the show because while I love everything about this show Rita is just the best and I cannot imagine it without her.
