• SEAN HAYES won Outstanding Performance by a
Male Actor in a Comedy Series for Will & Grace as Jack McFarland
(NBC):
"It's one thing when a fan says, 'I thought your performance was really
great.' That means the world to me. But when an actor says, 'I thought maybe
you were pushing a little bit,' I have to re-evaluate my entire life. For all
the actors who, for whatever reason, decided I should be standing her tonight,
thank you very much."

• MEGAN MULLALLY won Outstanding Performance by
a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for Will & Grace as Karen Walker
(NBC):
"Working on these great comedy scripts week after week, and always having
to think in terms of what's funny, it rubs off after a while. I've found that
in real life I've reaped some good benefits from that. I've been able to step
outside of myself and see things in a different way because of it, and I feel
like I've been able to change for the better in certain ways."

about, won't it?"
