The Crown star Tobias Menzies dedicated his Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series to the late Michael K. Williams, a fellow nominee, a day after the ceremony.
Menzies won for his role as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in Netflix's royal drama, but he wasn't present Sunday night to pick up his trophy or give a speech. On Monday, he celebrated his Emmy win - the first of his career - on social media:
""Very humbled to win @TheEmmys last night, huge thanks to @TVAcademy & congrats to all my brilliant fellow nominees," Menzies wrote. "But want to dedicate this to Michael K Williams, his performance as Omar in The Wire is one of the great screen performances, he will be deeply missed. RIP."
