Although she might not play Violet Crawley anytime soon, Smith clearly hasn’t lost her character’s wit.

The night’s biggest winners were HBO’s medieval fantasy hit “Game of Thrones”, which won the coveted best drama series for a second year, and FX’s much talked about dramatization of the 1995 O.J. Simpson trial, “The People v O.J. Simpson”, which took home 9 Emmys including best limited series.
Holding Smith’s trophy, Kimmel said it would not be mailed to the 81-year-old actress.
“I was very astonished and pleased to win the award”, she wrote. The TV series also dominated the Creative Emmy Awards, picking up nine prizes for technical achievement.
Former GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush had a cameo on host Jimmy Kimmel’s opening comedy segment and Kimmel referenced Republican nominee Donald Trump in his monologue, pointing out the man in the audience who made him a television star.
“We have a new rule this year: for the first time ever, you must be present to win”. “If we call your name and you are not here to accept, the Emmy goes to the next name on the list”.
Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang picked up an Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series Emmy for “Master of None” and Patton Oswalt won for Writing for a Variety Special for his stand-up concenter special “Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping”.
Smith’s statement, formally accepting her award, was posted on Twitter account of Masterpiece PBS. That’s right, no times.
He ended his joke rant by stating, “I have a message for you “lame” Maggie Smith, if you’re even bothering to watch. Right in the garbage”. She is the second female SNL cast member to win an Emmy for her work on the show after Gilda Radner in 1978. She showed up at the Tonys. MTV’s “Video Music Awards” lost a third of its audience last month compared with the year before. “I’m so glad that he liked Veep, because his opinion was the one that really mattered”, she said. She’s Downton Absent, is what she is. What is wrong with us?

“I’m happy to be able to stand with this in my hand for the team, happy that there was no one from ‘People vs. O.J.’ in my category”, she said. She also has not attended many other shows where this series was previously nominated.
