Jodie Foster, the two-time Oscar-winning actress, has won the first Emmy of her career.
Foster was recognized as best lead actress in a limited series, anthology or TV movie for her work in “True Detective: Night Country.”
“This is an incredibly emotional moment for me because ‘True Detective: North Country’ was just a magical experience,” Foster said.
She thanked her “champ and my partner in crime” Kali Reis, her costar on the show.
Foster also highlighted the indigenous people of northern Alaska, who figure in the show.
“They just told us their stories and they allowed us to listen and that was just a blessing. It was love, love, love and when you feel that, something amazing happens. It’s deep and wonderful and it’s older than this place and time,” Foster said.
