Michelle Williams took home the award for Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie at the 2019 Emmys for her role as Gwen Verdon on FX's 'Fosse/Verdon'. This was the star's first-ever Emmy win, reported The Hollywood Reporter. She is also nominated as an executive producer for 'Fosse/Verdon'.

She used the moment to speak about equal pay. Accepting her award from Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Williams said that the win felt like "an acknowledgment of what is possible when a woman is trusted to discern her own needs, feels safe enough to voice them and respected enough that they'll be heard."
