Ali Wong’s character in the Netflix comedy “Beef” faced plenty of challenges and frustrations, but the actress herself was nothing less than triumphant on Sunday night. Wong made history by becoming the first actress of Asian descent to win best actress in the limited series or TV movie category.

The comedian stars alongside Steven Yeun in the 10-episode tragicomedy about a bitter feud that develops between two strangers after a traffic incident.

The series debuted in April and received plenty of praise online, with audiences celebrating its complexity, unpredictability and relatability. (Well, hopefully it wasn’t too relatable.)Critics were also fans of “Beef,” which James Poniewozik, chief television critic for The New York Times, called “one of the most invigorating, surprising and insightful debuts of the past year.”

While “Beef” is in the limited series category at the Globes and at the Emmys, which will be awarded next week, the show’s creator, Lee Sung Jin, has said he is open to exploring different directions for another season, including the possibility of a new ensemble cast.
