The Emmy Awards on Monday proved to be a historic night for the Asian American community.
Comedian Ali Wong became the first Asian woman to take home the award for outstanding lead actress in a limited series or movie for her performance in Netflix’s “Beef.”
Wong, who's also an executive producer on the show, paid tribute to her late father in her acceptance speech.
“I wouldn’t be standing here without my parents, my amazing parents, my mother and my father, who I so wish was alive to share this moment with me,” Wong said. “My hilarious father who loved me unconditionally and taught me the value of failure.”
The other nominees in the lead actress category were Lizzy Caplan for “Fleishman Is in Trouble,” Jessica Chastain for “George & Tammy,” Dominique Fishback for “Swarm,” Riley Keough for “Daisy Jones & the Six” and Kathryn Hahn for “Tiny Beautiful Things.”
