Presuming he’s still going home with his longtime partner, the couple having fallen in love on the set of The Americans 13 years ago, Rhys can now turn his attention to showing off his statues at home.

The dad to 10-year-old son Sam with Russell and stepfather to her son River, 19, and daughter Willa, 13, explained, “Every time we play games and I do silly imaginary voices and they tell me to shut up, cause I’m so bad doing them, I say, ‘How bad am I doing now, kids?!'”

But when he took the stage for what he characterized as his more expected win of the night, for critical darling Widow’s Bay, a 19-time nominee heading into the evening, Rhys couldn’t help getting a little choked up.

But first, some quips.

“My apologies to the women who had to stand again,” Rhys said upon reaching the stage. “Stephen Root was right, this is purely because of the depraved and twisted mind of Katie Dippold, and her genius really does live in the recesses of her disturbed brain.”
