Today was a very good day for Kathy Bates; she was nominated for her 15th Emmy. This time, she was nominated for Best Actress in Drama for her work on Matlock.
As soon as CBS and her co-workers heard the news, they knew they had to congratulate her. So they were all there to greet her on the set and celebrate the news.
The actress was surprised by their greeting, and you can tell she was sincerely touched by what they did for little ole her. She told them while holding back tears as not to ruin her makeup, “So nice y’all being here. You know, y’all were more than enough all this time. I didn’t need anything else. Thank you so much. This has been an extraordinary experience for an old broad like me. I love you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being so great with me every day, so I can do what I love to do best.” Then she told them, “OK! Back to work!”
Before they did what she told them to do, they gave her another round of applause.
When it comes to her being an old broad, at 77, she is the oldest woman to be nominated in that category. She might have that distinction, but she is young at heart and proves that age is just a number, a number that gives her the right to have more car insurance.
Congrats to the woman who was rightfully nominated again! Let’s hope she brings her home the third Emmy statuette.
Matlock returns to CBS on October 12th.
