Congratulations to These First-Time Emmy Winners!

Amy Schumer may have lost the big prize she was nominated for this year (outstanding lead actress in a comedy), but she still got a statue for variety sketch series for her baby, Inside Amy Schumer. It was hardly a consolation prize to the actress, who could not have sounded more jazzed or grateful in her acceptance speech.

Jeffrey Tambor's groundbreaking win for Transparent comes after the seven times he was previously nominated for an Emmy — prior to this, he was up multiple times for Arrested Development and The Larry Sanders Show each.

Another first-time winner/first-time nominee was Regina King, whose win was another triumph. This has to be special for King, since she's been working since 1985!

Another reason Richard Jenkins's interaction with Lady Gaga was so great is because it was such a huge moment for him: the winner for lead actor in a miniseries was winning for the first time, for his first-ever nomination.

Frances McDormand may have looked nonplussed to be at the Emmys — or to win, even — but she had reason to crack that small smile — it was her first victory!
