Darren Criss: Self - Winner

Quotes 

• Himself - Winner: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie : Oh, my God. You guys are witnessing the most extraordinary moment of my life thus far, so this is pretty cool. I am so very privileged to be in this room amongst so many people that inspire the living crap out of me, and I'm so honored to be nominated a lot of you guys that I've been a fan of for such a long time. Actors are really only as good as the moments they are given, the moments they are granted, and so I am so profoundly indebted to my friend Ryan Murphy for entrusting me with this opportunity of a lifetime and for believing in me. I hope the people from the show can forgive me. I will thank you later. I need to thank some family. Ricky, look where we are, man. Michael, I think you worked harder on this than I did. Mom, Dad, Chuck, unlike the character I played, I was lucky enough to be raised in a home that was very loving and emphasized the value of hard work, compassion, and not taking yourself too seriously. You are at the root of why I am here. And to my darling Mia, you roll the windows down and pump the music up in my life, and I am so thankful for you. I'm so lucky to have you. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you to the Television Academy. And go blue.
