The world is cheering for Ayo Edebiri and rightfully so!
Earlier tonight, Ayo became a first-time Emmy winner, taking home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on The Bear.
Other nominees included Sheryl Lee Ralph for Abbott Elementary, Juno Temple for Ted Lasso, Alex Borstein for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Jessica Williams for Shrinking, Janelle James for Abbott Elementary, and Hannah Waddingham for Ted Lasso.
Ayo — who stars as Sydney Adamu on the show — delivered a sweet acceptance speech thanking the cast for turning into her second family.
She also showed gratitude to her parents for "loving me and letting me feel beautiful and Black and proud of all that. Probably not a dream to immigrate to this country and have your child be like, 'I want to do improv,' but you're real ones."
The audience erupted in applause when her name was called, but it's the pure reactions from her peers that really sealed the overall excitement for me.
Just check out Jessica, who broke out into literal tears for Ayo:
Or Hannah who couldn't help but smile from ear-to-ear as she cheered Ayo on:
And the love she received online was just as loud. Here's what fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, had to say about her historic win:
Ayo is only the third Black woman to win in this category, alongside Sheryl Lee Ralph and Jackée Harry.
