Quinta Brunson, creator of ABC’s popular sitcom Abbott Elementary, has become the second Black woman to win the Emmy for Writing a Comedy Series.
Brunson walked the gold carpet wearing a stunning Dolce and Gabbana metallic gown. After receiving her award, Brunson thanked ABC, Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros, saying “It takes that many people to make a television show. I need to say thank you to Justin and Patrick, my co-showrunners, for believing in a story from four years ago.” She also attributed her success to Larry Wilmore’s support and mentorship, thanking him “for teaching me to write television as well as he did.
When asked about her stunning Emmys look, Brunson opened up about the inspiration during an interview with E!'s Live from the Red Carpet. "I really wanted something that made me feel va-va-voom, but also respectful," she told host Laverne Cox. "I feel like I kind of have to do three jobs at once, actress, producer, and writer, so it can be hard to find something that makes me comfortable being all three but also wearing something that makes me feel good and sexy and proud.
Apart from her win, Brunson was also nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and through Abbott Elementary's Outstanding Comedy Series nomination.
