Lamorne Morris won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series for his role in 'Fargo' during the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards held on September 15, 2024.

In his heartfelt acceptance speech, Morris expressed disbelief and gratitude, thanking God, his mother, and his daughter, Lily, while humorously referencing his birth and her previous skepticism about his success.

During his speech, Morris thanked FX, his cast, and his management team, and notably mentioned fellow nominee Robert Downey Jr., referencing their connection through the film 'Tropic Thunder'.

Morris dedicated his award to his fans, with supportive comments from his former co-stars Zooey Deschanel and Jake Johnson reflecting their admiration.

This win marked Morris's first Emmy nomination and victory, beating his co-star John Hawkes for the award.

The ceremony also paid tribute to Treat Williams, who passed away in June 2023, recognizing his role in 'Feud: Capote vs. the Swans'.

Other nominees in the outstanding supporting actor category included Jonathan Bailey, Tom Goodman-Hill, Lewis Pullman, and Treat Williams, with Pullman nominated for 'Lessons in Chemistry'.
