Amy Sherman-Palladino, the brain behind the critically acclaimed series "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel", created history Tuesday by becoming the first woman to win in both comedy writing and directing categories.
Sherman-Palladino won for the pilot episode of "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel," her period comedy about a New York City housewife-turned-stand-up-comedienne.
She started her first acceptance speech with a feminist joke, "Whoever put that carpet downs hates women. I just want to say that right away. Time's up, okay?"
