Good for her, she is a talented actress. I never saw the show, but heard it was pretty funny. In her acceptance speech, she paid tribute to her father, who passed away on Friday. Also, she took a swipe at Trump. say "I personally apologize for the current state of the political climate. our show was a satire, but now feels like a sobering documentary"!
Update! I was thinking Oscar, but should typed Emmy! OOooppPPSS, my mistake!

as she stood to inherit his billions. Good for her. In her professional life, at least, wealth never seemed to go to her head. And from the little I know of her private life, she'll probably do a lot of good with all that money.
