Succession” star Sarah Snook won the Emmy on Monday night for outstanding actress in a drama series. The win was Snook’s first Emmy for playing Shiv Roy on the hit HBO series, which ended its run last May after four seasons. “Thanks to everyone who voted and for loving the show as much as we did as a cast making it and as a crew making it,” Snook began after accepting the award from Jodie Foster, who presented the category.
“We put our all into it and the bar was set so high. I think that’s what spurred us on from every department. We all gave it our best, led by [series creator] Jesse Armstrong and [director] Mark Mylod and my cast who I love so much and I’m going to miss.” Snook moved to thank those in personal life, including a new addition to her family: “To my mom and dad, I love you.
Thank you for having a dress-up box when I was a kid. This is where it gets you! Also the biggest thank you though is to someone who won’t understand anything I’m saying at the moment, but I carried her with me in this last season. Really it was her who carried me.
It’s very easy to act when you’re pregnant, because you’ve got hormones raging. It was the proximity of her life growing inside me that gave me the strength to do this and this performance. I love you so much.
It’s all for you from here on out.” Snook also just won the Golden Globe this month for best actress in a TV drama and also won the Globe for supporting TV actress in 2022. She’s next up for the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series. Snook won a category in which she faced off with Sharon Horgan (“Bad Sisters”), Melanie Lynskey (“Yellowjackets”), Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), Bella Ramsey (“The Last of Us”) and Keri Russell
