Just started watching this hidden gem about a wk ago..already done season 3. wifey n I cnt stop watching

[@lytaquiroz1524]

Stupid Covid took away the chance of seeing her winning this award in a full theater, getting the standing ovation this legend deserved... however, she won, finally, thats what matters

[@klausweasley]

At least she got to celebrate with the cast and crew and had some sort of a party.

[@derrickp2628]

🖕🏾COVID for robbing her of that moment lol!!!! She’s so amazing.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

But they were COVID 19 tested two weeks before this event, they were in isolation until the night of the event, they were all wearing masks to keep each other safe. And proper social distancing as mandated by the City of Toronto was observed.

[@derrickp2628]

Celeste Keenan what point are you trying to make....

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

@@derrickp2628 My point is, is that this event that they were attending in Toronto and the after-event was safe for all involved.

She accepted this award with Moira’s vocabulary 🤣

[@candiceg430]

And, damn, what a vocabulary.

[@abrahamjacob7220]

And Moira's fave season is awards season! :)))

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

You mean her Emanuel? Yes, she did.

[@bhargavdas2562]

Yessss😭😭❤️❤️

[@artsyswarley]

The fact that she gave a shout out to her makeup, wardrobe and hair teams was amazing. Those people get so over looked ALL THE TIME and the fact that Catherine during HER moment thought to shout them out is such a testament to her character.

[@jumpinandy]

Her ability to bring Moira to life is largely facilitated by the zany wigs and fashion, so it’s awesome that she recognizes that enough to mention the people whose talent make it possible. What an amazing cast and set of characters. 🥰

[@alenanela1743]

Of course, she couldn't forget the hair teams for which her bebes owe their magnificence to

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

@@alenanela1743 Her hair team, her makeup team, and her wardrobe whisperer.

They don't get overlooked.. they have their own creative arts emmy. But awesome that Catherine did what was so uniquely Canadian. Thanking everyone involved!!

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

@@twoboysmom7423 Deborah Hanson, Lucky Braulmhead, and Ana Sorys all made Moira look great.

That trashcan refusing to stop burning is such a 2020 mood, to be honest.

[@jamesmonroe7751]

Brings new meaning to the ultimate Trumpster Fire! 😍😍🤣🤣💯

[@mikegaskin5542]

They're using a CO2 extinguisher, which is only good for Class B/C fires (flammable liquids, live electrical equipment) while burning paper is a Class A fire. But using a Class A pressurized water extinguisher or an A/B/C dry chemical extinguisher would make a much bigger mess on stage.

[@zephyros9]

Catherine O'Hara is a legend and a genius in comedy. As far as I'm concerned she's up there with Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and Gilda Radner. She so deserved this Emmy. I'm so glad she finally got her iconic role she'll always be remembered for. What a perfect role for her too. And BRAVO to the entire Rose family cast who all won their awards in their categories!!

[@pjt007]

Fantastic post, D.W.! Just this morning, I was happily musing about Catherine's well-deserved win (I am a fellow Canadian), and I put her right up there with the very same three you mentioned: Lucille, Gilda and Julia! :)))

[@nataliewantscookies]

Agree 100%!!!

[@aaroncrilly2005]

Fun fact, in her younger days Catherine was a friend and understudy to Gilda Radner

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

She worked as a waitress at Second City and became Gilda Radner's understudy. This is Catherine's first time winning an Emmy for acting. The last time Eugene and Catherine won an Emmy for anything it was for Writing in a Variety/Music show for SCTV Network The Moral Majority Show. She's a gracious and a very classy lady.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

@@aaroncrilly2005 She also has a star on Canada's Walk Of Fame.

[@lukaskasdan6628]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Catherine and Eugene would have received a thunderous round of applause from the audience in an auditorium. They are two of the most well respected comedic actors in the industry.

[@vicj2141]

And on the streets of Canada!

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

How would they have traveled to LA?

[@ledgehall]

I'm dying at the contrast between the shy and modestly articulate Catherine O'Hara and the IMPERIOUSLY GRANDILOQUENT MOIRA ROSE! Well, what an actor!

[@mvikas1995]

Lol this comment is so Moiraish😂😂

[@srajguru87]

I swear this woman went from Kevin’s crazy mom in Home Alone to one of the most hilarious people I’ve ever seen on a TV screen... Moira got her Emmy!

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Catherine O'Hara was always funny but she just never got recognized for how funny she was and still is until now. Neither did Eugene Levy. This is the year that they both won their first acting Emmanuels. See SCTV Network Night School Hi Q. Eugene and Catherine both are very funny in that.

[@pandapants]

What about Beetlejuice???

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

@@pandapants I'm aware of Beetlejuice but I was talking about when she first started on SCTV back in the 1970s in Toronto.

What amazed me the most about the show is I can’t believe how much cloth the family managed to grab when they were given only 15 mins to pack their belongings at the beginning. So basically everybody grabbed enough cloth in 15 mins that will last them 6 seasons without having to wear anything twice.

[@cleementine]

They had help. Remember Moira screaming at the maid not to pack certain wigs together because, "they don't like each other!"?
