Ralph is the second African-American woman to ever win an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a comedy. An award that was won by Jackee Harry in the 1980's for her role as "Sandra Clark" in the hit sitcom "227". Harry took to social media to congratulate Ralph saying:
"Winning my Emmy was a career highlight, but it was also a lonely experience. For 35 years I’ve been the only black woman to win Outstanding Supporting Actresses in a Comedy Series.
But that all changes tonight… and it’s come full circle!
The network originally wanted Sheryl Lee Ralph to play Sandra on 227, but I got the part and won an Emmy for it. Now, Sheryl joins me as the 2nd black woman in this category and deservedly so! I’m so exited for her Emmys win!
Sheryl’s had a remarkable career AND she’s one of the nicest people in Hollywood. Barbara Howard on Abbott Elementary is another fabulous character we’ve been fortunate to watch her breathe life into.
Congrats, Sheryl & welcome to the club! #BlackGirlsRock"

The night also had its share of questionable moments. The most notable being comedian Jimmy Fallon's mock tantrum when he lost to Quinta Brunson for winning best writer for comedy series.
Yeah, the "lay in" definitely took away from the moment but Brunson handled it with grace. Congratulations to all of this years winners!
