Published 15 September 2026

Tom Pelphrey won his first Emmy Award on Monday night, taking home the trophy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Robbie Prendergrast in HBO's crime drama "Task." The ceremony, held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, marked a career milestone for the actor, who had previously been nominated in 2022 for a guest role in "Ozark." During his acceptance speech, Pelphrey delivered an emotional tribute to his family. He thanked God for his life and sobriety, his friends, and his costars, including "the beautiful Mark Ruffalo." He then dedicated the award to his fiancée, actress Kaley Cuoco, who was visibly pregnant and seated in the audience. "To my favorite actor in this room, my love, my best friend, my partner, the very pregnant Kaley Cuoco," Pelphrey said. "I love you more than anything, and our family is the crown jewel of my life." He also addressed their three-year-old daughter, Matilda, and their unborn second child, a baby girl. "Matilda, daddy loves you. Baby girl, daddy loves you. Thank you. God bless." Cuoco, known for her role in "The Big Bang Theory," was shown crying in the audience during the speech.
