Vanessa Hudgens shows off a lot of leg while stepping out on the carpet for the 2016 Creative Arts Emmy Awards held at the Microsoft Theatre on Sunday (September 11) in Los Angeles. This is notable in that it’s Poehler’s first Emmy win, and it is also the first win by a duo in this category. Despite a stellar television career – marquee roles on Saturday Night Live, starring in her own prime-time network comedy series, getting rave reviews for co-hosting the Golden Globes – the comedic actress has never received one of those gold Emmy statues. Yes, hairstyling, sound mixing and editing are part of the Creative Emmy’s but there are plenty of talent categories and plenty of recognition went out to comedy performances and series over the weekend. It only needs four more to beat last year’s record for most wins by a TV series in a single season.
After the win, RuPaul said, “I’m in a state of shock right now”.
