Kate Winslet Wins First Emmy In 10 Years For 'Mare of Easttown'

Kate Winslet took home another Emmy trophy after 10 years for her role in the HBO drama series "Mare of Easttown."

Winslet, 45, beat Elizabeth Olsen ("WandaVision"), Cynthia Erivo ("Genius: Aretha"), Michaela Coel ("I May Destroy You") and Anya Taylor-Joy ("The Queen's Gambit") after she took home the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Limited Series. In her acceptance speech, she acknowledged her fellow nominees and spoke about her role in the series.

"I just want to acknowledge my fellow nominees in this decade that has to be about women having each other’s backs. I support you, I salute you. I’m proud of all of you," she began her acceptance speech as per Variety.

"'Mare of Easttown' seems, I don’t know, it is this cultural moment and it brought people together and gave them something to talk about other than a global pandemic and I want to thank everyone for watching our show," she added. "Brad Ingelsby, you created a middle-aged, imperfect, flawed mother and you made us all feel validated, quite honestly."

The outlet noted that Winslet's recent Emmy win is her first in over 10 years. She won an award in 2011 for "Mildred Pierce." She was also nominated as an executive producer in the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series category.

"Mare of Easttown" took home three Emmy Awards. Evan Peters won the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Julianne Nicholson also won the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

Peters and Nicholson's Emmy win was their first. Both acknowledged Winslet in their acceptance speeches.

"Man, you're good at acting. Turns out, you're good at caring for a whole production. You led all of us every step of the way with such care and intelligence and love," Nicholson said of the "Titanic" actress, as per People.

"If you hadn't called and asked if I wanted to join you in Philly, I probably would have read the first two episodes, thought 'Nah, the priest did it,' and stayed home. So I owe this to you," she added.

Peters also did the same when he delivered his acceptance speech. He thanked his parents and the viewers who supported the show. He also thanked director Craig Zobel and gave Winslet a shoutout for "being Kate Winslet."
