Matthew Rhys Achieves a Historic Emmys Trifecta
The Welsh actor became the first in the awards show’s history to win lead acting prizes in the drama, comedy and limited series fields.

Matthew Rhys is a beast after all.

On Monday night, Rhys made Emmys history by becoming the first person to win lead acting awards in the drama, comedy and limited series categories across a career. He also became the first person to win two of those categories on one night.

At this year’s awards ceremony, Rhys took home lead acting prizes for the Netflix crime thriller mini-series “The Beast in Me” and the Apple TV horror-comedy hit “Widow’s Bay.” He laid the foundation for his historic feat in 2018, when he won the drama statuette for his role in “The Americans” as Philip Jennings, a deep-cover sleeper agent for the K.G.B.

“This is a real shock, not least because of the caliber and company of the actors in this category,” Rhys said as he accepted his award for “The Beast in Me.” The limited series, which earned nine total nominations, co-starred Claire Danes. In his speech, Rhys called her an “intimidating scene partner.”

Rhys played the mayor Tom Loftis in “Widow’s Bay,” and his devoted assistant was played by Kate O’Flynn, who also took home an Emmys statuette. Stephen Root and Betty Gilpin also won for their performances on the show.

In his acceptance speech for “Widow’s Bay,” Rhys thanked the show’s creator, Katie Dippold, who took home the comedy writing prize.

The actor also extended gratitude to his family.

“My parents, they just kicked me onto a stage from a very early age,” he said. “My sister, who’s here tonight, turns out she was the brains of the outfit all along. Thank you for all the sage words and patient, patient listening.”

There’s no other show that sticks the landing like this show. The last three episodes of the final season are the best of the best.

That is all, just an appreciation for this amazing show going out at the absolute game top of its game.

We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms

Is there anything sadder than the scene where Adam Schiff‘s wife dies, and he makes that little gasp? It gets me every time.

I have a problem with my roux breaking/separating before I put in the cheese. Three times out of four it breaks, but it does work sometimes. And I feel like I do the same thing every time.

I am not looking for ways to make the sauce work anyway once it breaks, I have those. Not looking for recipes that don’t use a roux, I have those as well.

I’m looking for what goes wrong to make the roux break. Is it too hot, am I not stirring enough? Is it not hot enough?

I can’t seem to find a common denominator between the times it doesn’t work that differentiate it from the times it does work. And I’m really craving mac & cheese. I’m taking a trip to Trader Joe’s tomorrow and I love to use some fancy cheeses from there to make Mac & cheese. But I also don’t want another crappy sauce.

Thanks!
