Actress Cynthia Nixon revealed to Variety this week that if she could go back, she would receive her first Emmy from someone other than President Trump.
Nixon won the award in 2004 for her role as Miranda Hobbes, an attorney on the hit show “Sex and the City.”
Nixon told Variety that she was “flabbergasted” to receive the award. The actress said she had “forgotten” that Trump, then an “Apprentice” star, had presented the trophy with Simon Cowell.

“I was just completely flabbergasted. It was our very last season. None of us had ever won Emmys as actors before,” Nixon told Variety.
“Do I wish I had gotten my Emmy from somebody else? Yes, I do. Absolutely I do,” Nixon said of Trump. “But, it’s not like he picked me. He just passed off the trophy.”
Nixon played Hobbes for six seasons of the hit HBO series from 1998-2004. She later reprised the role in the 2008 and 2012 movies “Sex and the City” and “Sex and the City 2.”
Days ago, Nixon got political at her speech at the Tony Awards, during which she appeared to call out Trump and his family.
