Sarah Silverman looked bold in blue as she arrived at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (September 20).

On the red carpet, the 38-year-old funny girl echoed the feelings of many when she said, “Oh my God, I’m dying” in the LA heat. On getting the call for her nomination for lead in a comedy series, she said: “I looked at my cellphone and I thought my mother had died.”

Did she prepare a speech? No, but “I made a couple of bullet points. The category is ridiculous. I know it’s very unlikely but I do want to win.”

She was right. Sarah lost out to Aussie actress Toni Collette for her work in United States Of Tara.
