Ali Wong Wins Her First Emmy: Best Actress in a Limited Series for ‘Beef’

Ali Wong won best actress in a limited series for “Beef,” her first Emmy, capping a strong start to the year for her and the Netflix series.

Last week, Wong won a Golden Globe in the same category for her performance as a woman who enters into a prolonged feud with a contractor, played by Steven Yeun, after a road rage incident. Yeun also won an Emmy and a Golden Globe.

The series, which Wong, better known as a comedian, also executive produced, was widely acclaimed by critics and award voters. It won the Emmy for best limited series and received a total of 13 nominations.

As she walked on to the stage in a shimmering multicolored dress, Wong thanked the cast and crew of “Beef” and her parents before tearing up as she thanked her daughters.

“Thank you for inspiring me, this is for you,” Wong said.
