Matthew Rhys Celebrates Historic Emmy Double Amid Awkward Partner Moment

9/17 @ 1:27pm by Morten Nielsen

Welsh actor Matthew Rhys has described his Emmy triumph as an extraordinary evening, despite waking up with a serious hangover after the celebrations

The 51-year-old made television history by winning two leading acting awards in different categories on the same night

However, attention turned to his failure to mention long-term partner Keri Russell in either acceptance speech

Footage appeared to show an uncomfortable exchange between the couple, though Russell later applauded enthusiastically as Rhys collected his second prize

Rhys also joked that his trophies would stay in the basement until Russell wins one herself.
