Emmys 2025: Inside the Star-Studded After-Parties
Cristin Milioti is thankful her time acting hasn't been limited.
After winning her first Emmy for Leading Actress in a Limited Series, The Penguin star reflected on her journey to such a career milestone.
"It feels really nice," Cristin told reporters, including E! News, backstage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles Sept. 14 after receiving her trophy. "I’m so overwhelmed, this has been like such an incredible roller coaster, but it feels really nice."
The How I Met Your Mother alum continued, "I love this more than anything. The fact that I still get to do it and that I get to do it with the people who I get to collaborate with—my fellow actors and these incredible crews and writers and directors—I just continue to really be blown by that. So this really is very, very meaningful."
As to what the 40-year-old would go back and tell her younger self?
"I would say hang in there and your gut is right," Cristin said. "It doesn't feel like it's always right and people are going to tell you that it's wrong sometimes, but it's right. So just keep following."

And she followed right along to the HBO limited series set in the Batman universe, which earned 23 nominations at the 77th Emmys hosted by Nate Bargatze. And despite entering the dark world of Gotham City as Sofia Falcone, for her working on the show was a bright light.
"I loved this as a fan, but also as an actor, as a woman and a human being. This was a dream," Cristin emphasized to reporters. "I've been dreaming of something like this my whole life and watched every Batman movie and I would always have this secret thing inside just yearning to be in that world and to really let loose. And the fact that I got to do it, it's incredible. It's profound. It's very moving and I had the time of my life."
