Accepting the honor for the series, RuPaul thanked all those who have supported and contributed to the success of the show, as well as, "all of the dreamers out there."
The 'Supermodel of the World' closed his thanks by reminding folks, "If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else."
In the "Best Limited Series" category, The Assassination of Gianni Versace garnered three Emmys last night, adding to the two won last week at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
In addition to the "Best Limited Series" trophy, Darren Criss, who turned in a star turn as gay serial killer Andrew Cunanan, won for "Best Actor in a Limited Series."
