I earned two Emmy nominations for writing, and two of the shows I had written were nominated for best in their category.

The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.

So many people have won Emmys, so many people have won multiple Emmys that I think it's a degraded award.

To be honest, I didn't even know what the Drama Desk Awards were until I was nominated.

Truly what the Emmys are about are the machine behind them, and Oscars are the same way, where if you have a big enough machine behind you, you get nominated, because truly how many of the best performances actually win... not many.

Actually I walk around with the Emmy wherever I go, but I'm very casual about it.

I've trained myself not to put too much emphasis on awards, only because I never got into acting to win an award.

I don't know what's going on that I'm hosting the Emmys during really hard times. But I guess it's an honor and a privilege that I'm the one who gets to try to walk that line of making people feel good.

I've been working every year since I started acting, and I got many awards before I won the Oscar for 'The Queen.'

Emmys are wonderful and I'm thrilled to death that I have mine. But they're representative of a specific achievement, where this sort of thing is representative of how you've grown in your own industry.
