I never imagined that after Modern Family, I’d be able to be a part of something as unique as Griselda. I’m pleased to be acknowledged alongside Jodi, Brie, Juno, and Naomi, all wonderful women who created incredible television this year.
Thank you, Television Academy, for this great honor!»In Griselda, Vergara portrayed the title character, Griselda Blanco, a real-life Colombian drug lord in the 1970s and 1980s.
