Evan Peters wins first Emmy, thanks fans and co-star Kate Winslet ‘for being Kate Winslet’
Evan Peters is now an Emmy winner.
The Hollywood actor won at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards as Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his stunning performance at the HBO drama Mare of Easttown, reigning supreme over Thomas Brodie-Sangster (The Queen’s Gambit), Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Daveed Diggs (Hamilton), Jonathan Groff (Hamilton), and Anthony Ramos (Hamilton).
Aside from expressing his utmost gratitude to the Academy, his supporters, and parents “for getting me out to L.A.,” he also gave a special mention to his Mare of Easttown co-star Kate Winslet simply “for being Kate Winslet.”

His American Horror Story co-star Sarah Paulson was quick to give her all-out support for the actor. She quickly went live on Instagram just to do a little dance after the actor’s well-deserved win, and we’re one with her in celebrating it.
