This is also his first win. He was nominated five years in a row for best supporting actor in a drama for his role as Dr. John Carter in the hit medical drama ER.

Among the thanks, Wyle also makes it clear that half of his award goes to his wife, Sara Wells, and "not just because it's California law, but because she earned it."

After all of his thanks, Wyle made sure to end his speech with a nod to the hospital workers, Deadline reported.
