This is the first Emmy for Heigl, who was also seen in this summer's blockbuster comedy, "Knocked Up."
"My own mother told me I didn't have a shot in hell of winning, so I don't have anything prepared," Heigl told the audience, adding with a laugh: "But she's a big supporter. She really does love me. ... This is my dream come true."
