Betty Gilpin secured her first Emmy win for her role in the Apple TV series Widow’s Bay on Sunday. She took home the trophy in the ‘Guest Actress In a Comedy Series’ category for her portrayal of Sarah Westcott Warren, a character from the 18th century.
It was a significant evening for the show, as it walked away with eight wins ahead of the main Emmy telecast on September 14. This victory marks a major milestone for Gilpin, who previously received three nominations for her work on GLOW. The category featured a tough competition between Widow’s Bay and the HBO Max series Hacks, with many predictions favoring Kaitlin Olson for the win.
