Baby Reindeer is having a great year at the Emmys.
The Netflix limited series picked up the award for Best Supporting Actress for Jessica Gunning, who brought to life the charming, but troubled stalker Martha in the show.
Gunning beat out her Baby Reindeer costar Nava Mau, fellow queer actors Lily Gladstone (Under the Bridge) and Kali Ries (True Detective: Night Country), as well as Dakota Fanning (Ripley), Aja Naomi KIng (Lessons in Chemistry), and Diane Lane (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans).
In her speech, Gunning said she felt like she was about to wake up from a dream. "I'm incredibly proud to be a part of Baby Reindeer, so I just would love to say a huge thank you to everybody who let me be."
"My biggest thanks, though, has to go to Mr. Richard Gadd. I've tried so many times to put into words what working on Baby Reindeer meant to me, and I fail every time, so I'm gonna sing – no," she joked. "I'll keep it simple: thank you for trusting me to be your Martha. I will never ever forget her or you, or all this."
Gunning came out as queer following the success of the show earlier this year.
On the podcast Reign with Josh Smith, she explained that her gay awakening was a process, and included an on-stage kiss with Cate Blanchett in the play When We Have Sufficiently Tortured Each Other.
"I came out in November 2022. And that was a mega, mega thing for me because I for so long... I am surrounded by gays like all my friends are gay, so it wasn't that I was repressing anything, it was just that I didn't think that I could be. I still can't articulate it in the best way," she said. "But I realized I was a big, old gay. I was like, 'That's what it's been, that's what it is.' And that was like a massive moment where everything kind of clicked and I made sense of myself then."
In total, Baby Reindeer was up for eleven Emmys this year.
