It’s long been established that Zendaya is Meechee, but someone tell Gabriel Gundacker that Zendaya also just made history at the Emmys.
The Euphoria star took home Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series on Sunday night (September 20) — making the 24-year-old the youngest recipient to ever receive that honor. “I know this feels like a really weird time to be celebrating,” she said in an acceptance speech at home, surrounded by her family, “but I just want to say that there is hope in the young people out there.”
The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards were truly a night like no other; Jimmy Kimmel hosted the gig from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but winners gave their speeches virtually. Among those top winners were HBO’s family-as-politics saga Succession — which nabbed four awards, including Outstanding Drama Series — and Pop TV’s Schitt’s Creek, which took home every comedy award for a grand total of seven wins. And Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen reimagining, which led the pack with 11 noms, took home Best Limited Series.
