The talented actress went on to thank her family and even concluded by credit the child she welcomed in May 2023 as she filmed the final season of Succession while pregnant.

Sarah concluded: ‘ To my 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 is to someone who won’t understand anything I’m saying at the moment, but I carried her with me in this last season and really it was her who carried It’s very easy to act when you’re pregnant, because you have 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 and it’s all for you from here on out. Thank you.’ 

Her character is Siobhan ‘Shiv’ Roy who is Logan’s youngest child and only daughter. A left-leaning political fixer, she worked for a time for presidential candidate Gil Eavis, whose political views clash with Waystar. She eventually leaves politics to focus on building a future at Waystar. 

Meanwhile Kieran beat out some of his castmates including Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong  in addition to: Jeff Bridges – The Old Man, Bob Odenkirk – Better Call Saul, and Pedro Pascal – The Last of Us.

Kieran dropped his tuxedo jacket on the floor behind him and even got uncharacteristically emotional during his speech as he said: ‘Don’t pick it up. I couldn’t do the button. I wasted all my time hugging everybody. I love you all so much, especially everyone in the cast, every single one. Thank you so much. I love you. I’m not going to have any time. I don’t want to get yelled at. 

‘Got to thank Jesse Armstrong for being a brilliant writer, showrunner and gentleman. Thank you for Succession. Thank you for everything. I have to switch to the personal really fast. I have to thank my mom for giving me life and my childhood, which was great. So thank you for that.’

Kieran’s character Roman Roy is the youngest brother in the family and twin to Shiv and is known for being immature and does not take responsibilities seriously and often finds himself lacking the common sense his father requires of him, however, he also vies to be head of Waystar.

I want to say thank you to Danny for teaching me that judgment and shame is a lonely place, but compassion and grace is where we can all meet.  I’m grateful to my wife Jo. Thank you always.

The 75th Emmy Awards take place at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Monday evening.

The strike-delayed ceremony gathers Hollywood’s biggest stars as they celebrate the best of primetime television over the year of 2023.

Comedian and Black-ish star Anthony Anderson will be making his debut as the host alongside an all-Black executive producer team for the first time in Emmy history.

Jason Bateman, Quinta Brunson, Stephen Colbert, Jon Cryer, Jodie Foster, Jon Hamm, Ken Jeong, Joel McHale are among the stars announced to take the stage on Monday.

And the nominees include Pedro Pascal, Hannah Waddingham, Keri Russell, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Hart, Elisabeth Moss, Kieran Culkin and Bob Odenkirk.

The awards ceremony normally occurs in September but was delayed because writers and actors were on strike at the time last year.

Due to the industry strikes, the Emmys were postponed to 2024 on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday in the United States and arrives in the heels of the Golden Globes.

Guests take photographs on the red carpet prior to the start of arrivals for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, January 15, 2024, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles

The Last of Us follows closely behind with 24, The White Lotus with 23, and Ted Lasso with 21. 

Succession is in the running for the Outstanding Drama Series for the third time after previously winning the title in 2020 and 2022.

The series’ stars Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong and Brian Cox are up against each other for Outstanding Lead Actor in a drama series.

Their co-star, Sarah Snook, is also nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a drama.

Due to the industry strikes and delay, the first season of The Bear is in the contending rather than the second season, which was released this past summer. 

For that reason, many of nominated television shows, which were released up to 19 months ago, are now receiving their moment.

Netflix’s Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is up for Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series against Beef, Daisy Jones & The Six, Fleishman Is In Trouble and Obi-Wan Kenobi. 

For Outstanding Comedy Series, The Bear is up against Ted Lasso as well as Abbott Elementary, Barry, Jury Duty, Only Murders In The Building, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Wednesday.

At this year’s award show, there will be a series of cast reunions and recreations to honor and commemorate beloved, classic television series like The Sopranos, Cheers, I Love Lucy and All In The Family.

Stars from Grey’s Anatomy, American Horror Story and Ally McBeal will also reunite onstage while presenting awards at the Emmys. 

Fan-favorite comedians and presenter duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who is also nominated for Outstanding Host of a Reality or Competition Program, will also take the stage at the award ceremony.

The show will kick off at 5 p.m. PT and can be streamed live on Fox or FXX through streaming services such as Hulu + Live TV, Sling, DirecTV, YouTube TV and FuboTV. 

The day after the award ceremony, the Emmys will be available to stream on Hulu.

The first Emmy Award was held back in 1949 to celebrate the artistic and technical merit for the television industry.
