About 1,000 miles from the glitz and glamour of the ceremony unfolding in L.A., Reeves was grocery shopping in Denver when a friend called to relay the news: “I was like, ‘No, I’m not at the Emmys, I’m in Denver; I’m at home.’” lat.ms/3DuxbGn 
“I rushed home. It had already happened, so I said, ‘Let me go to Twitter.’ I typed my name in and bam, bam, bam — it was just there,” said Reeves. “I just kept looking at it over and over and just cried. What a moment. What an incredible moment.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
“It has been 33 years,” Ralph said of the first time they met. “Thirty-three years ago, I called Dianne and I said, ‘Dianne, I am planning and doing a benefit concert to raise awareness around HIV and AIDS. And I just need you to come and sing a song.’” latimes.com/entertainment-…
“People could feel every moment of your moment,” Reeves said of Ralph's #Emmys win.
“It felt live. It felt like we were there in the room. You watch it on TV and the energy was just, it was palpable. It was so beautiful.” latimes.com/entertainment-…

“True to form to who you are: In the midst of this powerful moment for you, you’re still empowering everybody. You changed my life in that moment,” Reeves told Ralph. latimes.com/entertainment-…
What did it mean to Reeves to unknowingly share the stage with Ralph in this way?
“What it says to me is that we are all here for one another. That was the embodiment of that; that was the embodiment of sisterhood; that was the embodiment of empowering.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
