Merritt Wever Gives Us A Red Carpet Quickie At The Emmy Awards

If you’ve never heard of Merritt Wever, you probably do now!

She was the actress who won the first award at the Emmy Awards tonight, winning Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in Nurse Jackie.

And, when we were waiting to hear her give a lovely speech thanking her parents, the crew and, we assume, Edie Falco, she instead got on stage, murmured one word, then dashed off stage!

Shortest speech in Emmy history??

That’s too bad because she did look lovely in her high-waisted satin black and white gown, deep red lipstick, drop earrings, and a shoulder-length wavy bob.

Here’s hoping we hear more insightful Merritt Wever speeches in the future!
