Co-star Julia Roberts also gave Ruffalo a shoutout before awarding the Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role, saying, “Good evening. They had a wordy little tongue twister for me to start with about how fabulous actors are, but instead, I just want to say, Mark Ruffalo is one outstanding actor. I am so absolutely tickled to my toes that he won tonight. He wasn’t here. Waiting for that Nor’easter.”
Roberts was nominated for ‘Female Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries’, but lost to Frances McDormand.
