The 75th annual Emmy Awards took place Friday night, and Christina Applegate was moved to tears by the standing ovation she received.

Fans all around the world have shown sympathy for the actress due to her well-documented battle with multiple sclerosis,

and despite the difficulties she has undoubtedly faced, Applegate keeps a brave front.

The audience applauded the 52-year-old when she presented two prizes at the Emmys last night (Monday, January 15), even though she was walking with a cane.

Performer Anthony Anderson assisted Applegate in getting across the stage. Applegate is well known for her parts in TV shows like Dead to Me and movies like Anchorman.

The Peacock Theater in Los Angeles saw its patrons rise to their feet in unison as the actress approached the podium.

‘Many thanks for that! God, oh God! said she.
‘By getting up, you’re completely humiliating me and my disability.’

‘Some of you may recognize me as Kelly Bundy from Married with Children,’ she continued. Every time I accomplish anything, we don’t have to cheer.’

The actress from Bad Moms said, ‘I’m going to cry more than I’ve been crying,’ as she wrapped up her remarks.

It should come as no surprise that Christina’s welcome and the broad admiration for an inspirational woman who has been through so much recently connected well with viewers at home.

Another said, ‘I adore Christina Applegate.’ She’s always been stunning and has such a wonderful sense of humor. Her zings are hot right now.

A third commented, ‘Man, that was a beautiful moment for Christina Applegate.’

I woke up at 4:30 am without warning and saw the video of Christina Applegate receiving a standing ovation right away. A fourth said, ‘And now I’m going to have to cry myself back to sleep.’
