American actor and comedian Nick Offerman won his first Emmy at the 75th annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards, winning Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in 'The Last of Us', reported People on Sunday. "Fortune presents gifts not according to the book," he said in his acceptance speech. The 75th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards recognized the best in artistic and technical achievement in American prime-time television programming from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, as chosen by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

The category was dominated by nominations for performances on the HBO shows, with four actors -- Murray Bartlett, Lamar Johnson, Keivonn Montreal Woodard and Offerman -- competing for the award against Succession actors James Cromwell and Arian Moayed. Offerman also saluted Cromwell and hailed his "magnificent" partner Megan Mullally, who had earlier urged him to play Bill, a paranoid survivalist who falls in love with an unexpected trespasser named Frank (Bartlett). In response to queries from the media, Offerman suggested there could be a whole miniseries that revolved around Bill and Frank's decades-long relationship. He said, "It could be a musical."
