Actress Sofia Vergara had a pretty good reason for missing the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night, despite being scheduled to present an award. Vergara spent the evening in a Los Angeles-area emergency room with what she described as the “craziest eye allergy.”

In an Instagram post sent Sunday night, Vergara said the allergic reaction flared up just as she was getting in the car to travel to the awards show. One of the pictures in the post shows her eye nearly swollen shut, while a video shows her washing out her eye.

“Didn’t make it to the Emmys but made it to the ER 🤣😩sorry I had to cancel!" Vergara wrote.

The “Modern Family” star was not nominated for any awards this year, but has earned five Emmy nominations in her career.
