This only happened today and it’s already being called ‘the best Emmys speech of all time’ by pretty much everyone on the internet.
Here’s how it went down: Merritt Wever plays Zoey on cable TV show Nurse Jackie. Here’s some of her brilliance:
She’s pretty much an unknown to anyone who doesn’t watch that show.
Although she’s talented and hilarious, nobody expected her to win Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy up against big shots like Sofia Vergara (who is blonde now – see gallery below) and Jane Lynch.
And Wever probably expected it the least. Her shock at hearing her name called is priceless, but not as priceless at what she says when she gets up on stage.

And in case you missed the weird, wonderful and wtf of Emmys fashion…

Christina Hendricks looks absolutely stunning! All the stuff I've seen her wear lately have made her look frumpy and have been quite unflattering, so it's a nice treat to see her looking fabulous! I also loved Kerry Washington's dress, as well as Julianne Hough's, Kaley Cuoco's and Kelly Osbourne's.
I found it a pretty dull telecast. It seemed to be one award and then a commercial for the duration. The two highlights were Merritt's acceptance speech and the memorium reel. I knew the names of more of the dear departed than the names of the nominees.
