Henson was, of course, nominated for her role as Cookie in Fox’s hit drama Empire.
Henson opened her speech with, “Cookies for everyone tonight! My treat.”
“Who knew that playing an ex-convict would take me all around the globe? So the world loves real. Thank you,” Henson said.
The actress thanked everyone from her longtime manager to the cast of Empire. And then she got the signal to hurry her speech because the show was about to cut to a commercial.
