At the ceremony were Executive Producer and Co-Creator Aline Brosh McKenna and series stars Donna Lynne Champlin and Vincent Rodriguez III. Check out the pictures below.

In the series, Rachel Bloom is Rebecca Bunch, a successful driven, and possibly crazy young woman who impulsively gives up everything in a desperate attempt to find love and happiness... in suburban West Covina, CA. stars in CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND. The half-hour comedy features musical elements.

Best known for her critically acclaimed and award-winning comedic music videos and who Cosmopolitan named one of the "13 Funny Women to Watch in 2014," Bloom is joined by notable television and Broadway actors Santino Fontana, Michael McDonald, Donna Lynne Champlin, and Vincent Rodriguez III as series regulars.

The cast includes Tony nominee and recent film voice-over star Fontana (Frozen) who plays Greg, a bartender and Rebecca's (Bloom) first friend; actor and comedian McDonald (MADtv) is Darryl, Rebecca's new boss; OBIE and Drama Desk Award winner Champlin (Broadway productions of Billy Elliot, Sweeney Todd) plays Paula, her co-worker at the law firm who is suspicious of Rebecca; and Broadway star Rodriguez III (Here Lies Love) will play Josh, Rebecca's childhood boyfriend who she serendipitously runs into years later, and who acts as the catalyst for her dramatic life change.

Produced by CBS Television Studios, the pilot is executive produced by feature writer Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada, Annie), and Bloom, and will be directed and executive produced by Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man films).
