"Glee" Jane Lynch, Ryan Murphy win in 62nd Primetime Emmy
"This is outlandish!" said Jane Lynch on her win at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards.
Lynch won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her performance as Sue Sylvester in the hit musical show "Glee."
"I want to thank my parents on the South Side of Chicago for raising us to the sounds of musical theater and being so unintentionally hilarious," Lynch said in her speech. "I love being an actor. I love being an ensemble."
She also thanked the Glee creator Ryan Murphy "for creating this role of a lifetime and the cast who are so young and fresh-faced."
Lynch was not the only one to snatch an Emmy for Glee.
The show's director Ryan Murphy also snatched up a prize for Best Direction of a Comedy.
In Murphy's speech, he shared the reason behind his inspiration for his show: "Thank you so much. I'm so shocked. I would like to thank Fox ... Tom Ford for the tux, my beautiful cast, whom I love so much. 'Glee' is about the importance of arts education, so I would like to dedicate this to all my teachers who taught me to sing and finger-paint."
