Allison Janney already has a name for her seventh Emmy, and a spot for it in the kitchen




Winning seven Emmys is a lot of pressure: You need to make sure you distinguish it from the other six, and you need to find a place for it.

Fortunately, 7-time winner Allison Janney said she had already solved both problems.

The Mom actress said she has redone her beautiful kitchen and has the perfect spot for it along with the other guys.
"I put these blue modern bookshelves along that wall. They'll all fit there. This one will have a lovely space there. And it won’t look crowded."
As for distinguishing the award from the others (including awards for The West Wing and Masters of Sex) Janney vowed to name the trophy after Ed Asner, whom she officially tied with her seventh Emmy wins, as host Andy Samberg noted on the telecast.
"I’m calling this one Ed. Never in a million, trillion years, would I be on a list with (Asner and the Mary Tyler Moore show). It’s a complete honor. This is going to have to sink in later and I’ll have  to cry hysterically."
To help her through the backstage gauntlet, Janney brought fellow-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus from Veep onstage with her. The two vowed to hit a few of the after parties to celebrate. Said Janney:
"We’re going to throw down somewhere. We’re going to play some cards."
