The Bear star, Ayo Edebiri is cleaning up all of Hollywood's biggest awards this year.

After winning Best Actress at the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globe Awards, last night, she won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the Emmy Awards.

Dressed in a custom Louis Vuitton, leather dress with a strapless neckline and a full skirt, she thanked her parents who were in attendance at the ceremony.

This is a show about family and found family and real family, and my parents are here tonight and I’m making them sit far away from me because I’m a bad kid but thank you,” she said. “Thank you so much for loving me and letting me feel beautiful and Black and proud of all of that. I love you so much. Probably not a dream to immigrate to this country and have your daughter go 'I wanna do improv,' but you're real ones.”

On her role as Sydney Adamu on The Bear, she later told Deadline that she's looking forward to the character finding more confidence.

I love the idea of Sydney finding more confidence and belief in herself, but it’s also fun getting to play someone who’s flawed and kind of a mess,” she said.

For the award, Edebiri went head to head with Alex Borstein (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Janelle James (Abbott Elementary), Sheryl Lee Ralph (Abbott Elementary), Juno Temple (Ted Lasso), Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) and Jessica Williams (Shrinking).

Other cast of The Bear, Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach also won in their acting categories.
