2024 Emmy Acceptance
Quinta Brunson
When Brunson took the stage to accept the Emmy for lead actress in a series from legend Carol Burnett, she began her speech, “I don’t even know why I’m so emotional. I think, like, the Carol Burnett of it all.” It was humble and infinitely endearing and revealed what should be obvious to everyone now: When it comes to comedy, Brunson’s a deadly serious student of her craft. Which means this nod won’t be her last.
