AND THE WINNER IS:

MARTIN SHORT AS OLIVER PUTNAM FOR ("HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS?") IN "ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING"

This is the first win and nomination for Martin Short. He wins for his performance as Oliver Putnam on Only Murders in the Building.

Martin Short is a staple in the comedy world and for decades has always been a great presence in whatever comedy work he was starring in. With Only Murders in the Building this past year he was given the space to perform in a way that has him performing at his best being entertaining every second of the series. There were so many moments for Short to shine but no hour was better than the seasons third episode and it's theatrical investigative space having Short go balls to the wall humorous. Short and Martin proved such a great team together on this first season but for me Short slightly bests him with hismore wild turn all season long.
