Sofía Vergara Misses Emmys Due to Eye Allergy

Sofía Vergara had to miss out on the 2025 Emmys due to a medical emergency.

The Griselda actress was set to present the award for best actor in a limited or anthology series or movie, though Hunting Wives stars Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow notably took the stage in her place.

Shortly after the awards show concluded on Sunday night, Vergara took to social media to explain her absence. There, she revealed she had the “craziest eye [sic] allergie” that sent her to the emergency room instead of the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

The Netflix psychological drama won six awards, additionally including best limited or anthology series, while Graham’s co-star Owen Cooper became the youngest-ever male winner in any acting category with his supporting actor Emmy.
