While receiving her Emmy award as the lead actress in a comedy series, Catherine O'Hara also made a special mention of her stylists. She made sure to extend her gratitude to the team who were responsible for the stunning wigs that she wore on Schitt's Creek as Moira Rose. Not only that, but she also channelled her inner Rose to give a thank-you speech in the true Moira Rose style.
Catherine O'Hara expressed her gratitude for Schitt's Creek's hair and makeup team. She said, "I must pay an especially grandiloquent tribute to Debra Hanson, our wardrobe whisperer, my guardian makeup angel, Lucky Bromhead, and to our dare-doing hair wrangler, Ana Sorys.".

Interestingly, this is also Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy's second win together. He also held the writing credits for Second City Television and won the Emmy for it. In Schitt's Creek, the actors play the wealthy husband and wife who are known for their elite yet comic characters. Meanwhile, last year too, O'Hara was nominated for her character of Moira Rose but did not win.
