When The Handmaid's Tale debuted, both audiences and critics were bowled over by the outstanding performance by former Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel. Playing the tortured Ofglen, Bledel was incredibly compelling as a woman who was physically and mentally tortured by a government who were opposed to her sexual orientation. It appears Emmy voters agreed, awarding her the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series prize at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards today.
Ahead of the annual Primetime Emmy Awards, prizes are offered to the technical and creative talent that work largely behind the scenes in crafting the TV that we all love. These are awarded a week prior at a separate ceremony that took place over 2 nights on 9-10 September 2017.
Bledel wasn't the only winner for The Handmaid's Tale, with the series also winning awards for cinematography and production design.
