"I am so lucky to be able to work with the most brilliant cast and crew in television, and I am honored to be included in this group of exceptional women. I am in debt not only to the Television Academy, Netflix, and Universal, but also to Tina Fey and Robert Carlock for creating this show in the first place. And by the way, with this nomination, I've already won....a complimentary round-trip flight to Los Angeles, plus accommodations!" - Ellie Kemper of UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT - Emmy nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

"I was sitting at my piano working on a new musical the moment I heard the news. In that moment, surrounded by so much love, I felt truly humbled to be a part of such an amazing show. Thank you to the Academy, and thank you to the wonderful family and team that is Ellie, Jane, Carol, Robert, and Tina." - Tituss Burgess, UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT - Emmy Nominee for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
