Emmy winner Allison Janney used her moment in the spotlight Monday night to keep attention on a story that's remained close to JubileeCast readers following the case: the ongoing disappearance of "Today" show host Nancy Guthrie.
Janney won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Netflix's "The Diplomat" - her eighth career Emmy, tying her with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Cloris Leachman, and Jean Smart for the most acting Emmys ever won by a performer. But in the press room afterward, she turned the conversation toward Guthrie.
"I honestly can say I think about her every day and think about the loss and what Savannah and her family are going through," Janney said. "I don't think I'm alone too. I think all of America was thinking about her."
Janney, an Oscar winner for "I, Tonya," has been vocal about Guthrie's case for months, previously showing public support around the two-month mark of her disappearance. "Every day I hope for a break in this case," she said.
A reward now totaling more than $1.2 million has been offered for information leading to Guthrie's recovery, though no major developments have been reported in recent weeks.
For families still waiting on answers, a public reminder like this - even from an awards stage - can matter more than it seems. It keeps a name in the conversation, and keeps the case, and the family behind it, in people's prayers.
