Rami Malek picks up 'Mr. Robot' Emmy, honouring outcasts everywhere
Rami Malek has picked up the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor for his role in "Mr. Robot," paying tribute to the reclusive nerds of the world and proving once and for all that hacking pays.
Taking to the stage at the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards in LA on Sunday night, Malek had the perfect Elliot line to deliver: "Please tell me you're seeing this too."
It was the first Emmy nomination and win for the relative newcomer, who has won praise from the tech world and Hollywood alike for playing the socially-awkward and reclusive hacker-turned-vigilante Elliot Alderson in the acclaimed series "Mr. Robot". It's not the only geek cred Malek boasts -- he's also provided voices for a number of video games including Until Dawn and Halo 2.
