Vanessa Williams: Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
Ugly Betty's Wilhelmina Slater
On her biggest competition: I’m literally a fan of all the women. I love Amy Poehler. I love Kristin [Chenoweth], Kristin is a friend of mine…it is going to be fun.
On how she found out: My publicist called me in the morning, woke me up…I was shooting yesterday I’m exhausted. My phone woke me up at 6 a.m.
On what she loves about Wilhelmina: I’m glad you hate her, because she is such a wonderful character to play because she is so unexpected and devious and exciting and vicious. It is never boring with Wilhelmina.
