British actress Maggie Smith, who is familiar to many in the roles in the Harry Potter films and the Downton Abbey series, won the Emmy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the Drama Series, but she did not come to the event for a figurine. Many wonder why the actress ignores the award, because she is one of the few who has won it repeatedly.
Jimmy Kimmel decided to make a joke on Maggie Smith
TV host and actor Jimmy Kimmel, who was commissioned to announce the winners of the awards, decided to joke a bit over the 81-year-old Smith. He opened an envelope with the name of the winner and when he saw the name, said these words:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to report that the best actress in the second plan was Maggie Smith! But in general, I do not understand why we constantly reward it? This is her fourth victory, not to mention the fact that 5 more times she was just nominated. It's sad to say, but Maggie has never been to the Emmy Awards. It seems to me that she should have boarded an airplane and come here, or else, next time, she will take her reward to the "Lost and Found" office.
However, not all the guests of the event were delighted with this joke. Many know the actress personally, and have warm and respectful feelings for her. Jimmy Kimmel seemed unkind to them, and after the event he was reminded not only of Smith's age, but of her shaky health and busy work schedule.

Education Maggie received in the same higher educational institution, where he taught the Pope - Oxford University. In the same place, in 1952, her debut on theatrical stage took place. After that, she began to constantly play on stage, and this continued until 1958, until she was invited to the cinema.
