In a dazzling display of talent and style, Ayo Edebiri continues to dominate the awards season. Just one week after taking home a Golden Globe and a Critic’s Choice Award, Edebiri emerged victorious once again at the 2024 Emmy Awards. The talented actress won the prestigious award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in Hulu’s hit show, “The Bear”. It’s safe to say that it is no longer awards season; it is Ayo Season.
The announcement of Edebiri’s win was made by the beloved Christina Applegate during the 75th Emmy Awards. Applegate aptly summed up the excitement surrounding Edebiri’s win as she called her onstage, saying, “Get your ass up here, Ayo.” Edebiri’s first-time Emmy win is a remarkable achievement and marks only the third time in history that a Black woman has won in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category. The previous winners in this category were Jackée Harry in 1987 and Sheryl Lee Ralph in 2022.
Dressed in a stunning leather Louis Vuitton gown, Edebiri gracefully made her way to the stage, making a statement with her impeccable fashion sense. But before accepting her well-deserved trophy, she humorously made Carson Daly, the presenter, hold her purse. This playful moment added to the overall charm and charisma that Edebiri exudes.
Edebiri’s victory at the Emmy Awards was no small feat, as she triumphed over formidable competition. Her fellow nominees included Sheryl Lee Ralph from “Abbott Elementary”, Hannah Waddingham from “Ted Lasso”, and Alex Borstein from “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”. Each of these actresses is incredibly talented in their own right, making Edebiri’s win all the more impressive.

But I love you so much. Thank you so much for loving me and letting me feel beautiful and Black and proud of all of that. I just love you so much.”
She continued: “It’s probably not, like, a dream to immigrate to this country and have your child be like, ‘I want to do improv!’ but you’re real ones.”
With this latest win, Ayo Edebiri has firmly established herself as a powerhouse in the entertainment industry. Her exceptional talent and captivating performances continue to captivate audiences and critics alike. Not only is she a gifted actress, but Edebiri also possesses an undeniable flair for fashion, consistently turning heads on every red carpet she graces.
