Kathy Griffin Wins Her First Schmemmy

Our girl, Kathy Griffin, took home her first Emmy at this year's Creative Emmys for her reality series, "My Life on the D-List." This award comes after Griffin's second nomination for her show, her first being the one she received last year for the episode in which she traveled on a USO to entertain American troops stationed in the Middle East. She spilled to People about her excitement at winning.

"I have an A-list pass for the day," Griffin joked backstage at the Creative Arts Primetime Emmys on Saturday night in Los Angeles. "Tomorrow I'll be back on the D-list when someone says, 'Congratulations, Miss Gifford,' which they will at the mall. Believe me."

Yay! Whatever, that would totally suck if she suddenly got too big for reality. Cause as it is, we get A-List laughs at D-list prices. (Bravo, if you want to use that tagline, feel free, because I know you want to.) Other winners of the evening were Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake, who performed the infamous "D*** in a Box" sketch on SNL, Elaine Strich for her guest performance on my beloved "30 Rock" and unsurprisingly, HBO, which received a whopping fifteen awards.
