Sofia Vergara was forced to cancel her appearance at the Emmy Awards on Sunday after having to rush to the emergency room. The Modern Family star was due to present the award for best actor in a limited or anthology series or movie at the 77th annual awards, but pulled out after experiencing an allergic reaction that affected her eye. Hunting Wives stars Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow presented the award in Vergara’s place. The 53-year-old told her millions of fans on social media that she “Didn’t make it to the Emmys but made it to the ER,” adding, “Sorry I had to cancel! Craziest eye [allergy] right before getting in the car!” The America’s Got Talent judge’s words were accompanied by pictures of her bloodshot left eye and another showing her rinsing the affected area. Her fellow star on the show, host Terry Crews, wrote to her saying, “Oh no! Get well soon!” Vergara wasn’t the only presenter absent from the show, with Grey’s Anatomy alum Eric Dane also dropping out of his planned appearance to hand out the drama series directing award. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in April.
