        Jane Lynch Shouts Out to Wife Lara While Accepting People's Choice Award: Video

Lynch, flanked by the Glee boys Chris Cofer and Cory Monteith, shouted out to her wife Lara Embry in her acceptance speech.

The ubiquitous, but more-than-deserving, Jane Lynch nabbed a People’s Choice Award Wednesday for Favorite TV Comedy Actress for her role as the sardonic Sue Sylvester on Glee. 

Lynch, flanked by the Glee boys Chris Cofer and Cory Monteith, shouted out to her wife Lara Embry in her acceptance speech.

“On a personal note, Lara, I love you baby,” Lynch said, pointing to Lara in the audience.  That said, she didn’t smooch Lara upon hearing her name called. And those impromptu lesbian kisses are always fun…

Here’s Lynch accepting her award from Taye Diggs and Kate Walsh.
