Darren Criss Says He's Forever Indebted to Ryan Murphy After His First Emmys Win

Sep 21 2018 - 8:00am

Darren Criss blew everyone away with his role as Andrew Cunanan on The Assassination of Gianni Versace [1], and on Monday night, his role earned him an Emmy. During the show, the 31-year-old took home lead actor in a limited series or movie. In addition to thanking Ryan Murphy (who he also worked with on Glee) for giving him the "opportunity of a lifetime," he also took a moment to thank one very special person in the audience: his fiancée, Mia Swier [2]. Holding back tears, the actor looked directly at his longtime girlfriend and gave a tribute straight out of a romantic comedy. "You roll the windows down and you pump the music up in my life," he said. Are you swooning yet?
