In addition to Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Oh from “Killing Eve,” Jodie Comer and Laura Linney from “Ozark,” Melanie Lynskey from “Yellowjackets,” and Reese Witherspoon from “The Morning Show” also competed for the award.

Zendaya, who had previously been honored with the same award in 2020 for her role as Rue, was the recipient of the Emmy, which was presented by Kelly Clarkson. After accepting the award, Zendaya went on to praise the work of all of the other contenders.

Zendaya delivered the following remarks during her acceptance speech: “Hello! This means so much. Thank you, thank you so much. Wow. To all of the wonderful actresses in this category, I’m so pleased to be alongside you.” “I want to express my gratitude to the fantastic members of the Euphoria cast and crew. I want to thank you for creating such a secure environment so that we could put on this challenging play. I love you all very much.”

Zendaya continued by saying “thank you to the Academy, thank you to my friends and family, some of whom are here tonight,” and she laughed when an audience member cheered when she mentioned her friends and family. “Thank you,” she said. “Thank you to the Academy, thank you to my friends and family, some of whom are here tonight.” “Thank you to Sam [Levinson] for sharing Rue with me. Thank you for believing in me even at times when I didn’t believe in myself. Rue is everything to me.”

“Just to wrap things off, I wanted to say that my number one hope for Euphoria is that it will be able to help people get better,” Zendaya said. “I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has shared their experience with me. I want you to know that everyone who has ever loved a Rue, or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know that I am so thankful for your tales.”

She concluded her remarks by saying, “I carry them with me and I carry them with her, so thank you very much.”

As a result of Zendaya receiving a second Emmy nomination for her major performance in the HBO series, she has become the youngest performer to ever get both a nomination and a victory for acting at the Emmys. The actress and singer, who is also an executive producer on the program, expressed to Vanity Fair that she was “overwhelmed” by the fact that she has been nominated for a total of four awards this year.

She said at the time, “It’s completely out of this world.” “The show clearly means a lot to me, and it means a lot to everyone who creates it. People put their whole hearts and souls into this, and I feel really fortunate to be able to share this with all of them.”

She continued by saying, “I’ve already spoken to so many people on FaceTime, and I have a lot more messages to give out. However, I am very proud of our team and the job that we do together. I am very, very pleased.”

The show was nominated for a staggering total of 16 Emmys, among which were the best drama series and individual episodes. Sydney Sweeney, who co-starred alongside Zendaya in the series, received recognition for her work there as well and was nominated for an award in the area of finest supporting actress in a drama series.

Sweeney, who is 24 years old, was also considered for the award of finest supporting actress in a movie or limited series for the job that she did in The White Lotus.
