Allison attended the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards on August 25, 2014 as a nominee for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her new role as Bonnie Plunkett on MOM. A mere nine days earlier, Allison had picked up her fifth Emmy for Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Masters of Sex; it was a rare feat to collect a second trophy for another role in the same year, but if anyone is worthy to be in such a position, it’s Allison. For the Primetime ceremony, appeared on the red carpet wearing a strapless fuchsia velvet gown custom designed by Nicolas Jebran. While anyone else might seem misguided wearing velvet in the summer, Allison won not only another Emmy, but rave fashion reviews as well.
Allison won this Emmy for her Season 1 of MOM over Kate McKinnon (“SNL”), Julie Bowen (“Modern Family”), Anna Chlumsky (“Veep”), Kate Mulgrew (“Orange is the New Black”), and Mayim Bialik (“the Big Bang Theory”). Allison’s Season 1 episode for voter consideration was “Estrogen and a Hearty Breakfast”. The award was presented to Allison by Jimmy Kimmel.
Allison’s double Emmy landed her on the cover of Variety Magazine with its iconic morning-after photo shoot; you can see the photos and access the article in the section below.
