Oh, Kathy Griffin, how did you get so awesome?

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List took home the Golden Tater for Best Unscripted Drama, and upon receiving word of her Tater Tops victory, the woman actually released a statement, saying, "I would like to thank the Golden Tater Academy of Arts, Sciences, Sour Cream and Chives."

We are totally changing our name to that.

We love you, K.G. Thanks for paying attention to our wee Tater Tops. It means a lot to us here at E! Online and to all the fans who voted for you.

In other news, Ms. Griffin is set to host the Creative Arts Emmys on Sept. 12. She calls them the Schmemmys, because she's a professional comedian, see, and that's how she rolls.
