Film & TVNewsZendaya makes history as youngest Best Actress Emmy winner for EuphoriaYou bet your glitter eyelids, she did!ShareLink copied ✔️September 21, 2020Film & TVNewsTextGünseli Yalcinkaya Better start prepping those glittery eyelids, because Zendaya’s just made history. The 24-year-old has become the youngest-ever Emmy winner for Best Lead Actress in a Drama for her role as Rue on HBO’s Euphoria, seeing off competition from Olivia Colman, Jennifer Aniston, and Sandra Oh. Before Zendaya, Killing Eve star Jodie Comer held that record, at age 26. The actor, who’s also the second Black woman to ever win the award – after Viola Davis for How To Get Away With Murder in 2015 – accepted the award wearing a two-piece number by Giorgio Armani Privé. “I just want to say thank you to the TV academy and to all of the other incredible women in this category. I admire you all so much, this is pretty crazy. I really don’t want to cry!” she said during her virtual acceptance speech. “Thank you HBO and A24 for all of your support. Thank you to my family and to my team who are all here. To the incredible cast and crew of Euphoria, I’m so lucky to go to work with you everyday and I’m inspired by everything you do,” she added. “I know this is a really weird time to be celebrating but I do just want to say that there is hope in the young people. I know our TV show doesn’t always seem like a great example of that, but there is hope in the young people. I just want to say to all my peers out there doing the work in the streets, I see you, I admire you, I thank you, and thank you so, so much.” Euphoria also won awards for Outstanding Contemporary Makeup and Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. Last month, the actor teased a possible bonus episode of the hit show, after production for its second season was halted in March due to coronavirus. In the meantime, here’s everything we know about season two so far. Congratulations to @Zendaya on her MUCH DESERVED and HISTORY-MAKING #Emmys win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama ✨ pic.twitter.com/v3kroYkFXU— A24 (@A24) September 21, 2020Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREThe Voice of Hind Rajab, a Palestinian drama moving audiences to tearsMeet the 2025 winners of the BFI & Chanel Filmmaker AwardsOobah Butler’s guide to getting rich quickRed Scare revisited: 5 radical films that Hollywood tried to banPlainclothes is a tough but tender psychosexual thrillerCillian Murphy and Little Simz on their ‘provoking’ new film, Steve‘It’s like a drug, the adrenaline’: Julia Fox’s 6 favourite horror filmsHow Benny Safdie rewrote the rules of the sports biopic Harris Dickinson’s Urchin is a magnetic study of life on the marginsPaul Thomas Anderson on writing, The PCC and One Battle After AnotherWayward, a Twin Peaks-y new thriller about the ‘troubled teen’ industryHappyend: A Japanese teen sci-fi set in a dystopian, AI-driven future
