Jessica Gunning took home the award for best supporting actress in a limited series, anthology or TV movie for her role in Baby Reindeer at the 2024 Emmys.

I honestly feel like Im going to wake up any minute now this whole thing has been a dream, she began her acceptance speech. Im so incredibly proud to be part of Baby Reindeer. So, I just would love to say a huge thank you to everybody who let me, really.

Gunning also took a moment to praise the shows creator and star, Richard Gadd. My biggest thanks has to go to, Mr. Richard Gadd. Ive tried so many times to put into words what working on Baby Reindeer meant to me, and I fail every time. So Im going to sing, she joked, before adding, Ill keep it simple and just say thank you for trusting me to be your Martha. I will never, ever forget her or you or this. So, thank you.
