Lee Yoo-mi has won the 2022 Emmy for outstanding guest actress in a drama series for her role in Netflix’s Squid Game, becoming the first Korean actress to take home the prize in this category. Colman Domingo has won outstanding guest actor in a drama series for his role in Euphoria. It is the first Emmy for both actors.
Lee via a translator said, “Thank you so much for this huge honor,” “I want to give my thanks to the TV academy, especially a big thanks to my Netflix team as well.”
The actress then added in English: “I’m so very happy, thank you!”
Squid Game made history this year as the first non-English language series to earn a best drama series nomination. It also received noms for best actor (Lee Jung-jae), best supporting actor (Park Hae-soo and Oh Young-soo) and best supporting actress (Jung Ho-yeon)
“A lot of kindness brought me to this stage, people who love me, people who lift me up. Thank you to those people,” said Domingo in his acceptance speech, noting Euphoria creator Sam Levinson and team as “the most creative artists.” The actor also thanked his husband, Raúl Domingo: “Thank you to my darling Raúl, this is for you.”
The other nominees in the drama guest actress category include Euphoria’s Martha Kelly, The Morning Show’s Marcia Gay Harden and Succession’s Hope Davis, Sanaa Lathan and Harriet Walter (who was also nominated for her guest role in Ted Lasso).
The other nominees in the drama guest actor category include Ozark’s Tom Pelphrey and Succession’s Adrien Brody, James Cromwell, Arian Moayed and Alexander Skarsgard.
