Many more congrats from media are posted somewhere above. The Broadway sites (Broadway.com, BroadwayWorld, Playbill etc) also congratulated Darren via social media.

Again, I tried to post whatever congrats from the ACS Versace family that the DC fan sites noted, so there are many of those posts somewhere above.

This man is a singer-songwriter. A great one, in fact. But apparently there’s a growing group of people who are convinced he is an actor, and now that he has an Emmy, I will never hear the end of it. https://t.co/LrVKuI824B

StarKids
Note: I noticed there are a lot of StarKid friends of Darren who used social media to congratulate him. I think it's safe to assume every single member of the StarKid theater group is so happy for Darren and congratulated him. At the end, I posted whatever congratulations via social media from StarKid friends' that I saw that Darren Criss Army posted (see somewhere above), but there are so many more StarKids' posts than that, and it would take so much time for me to post all their social media congratulations. Sorry!
(To be honest, I'm having trouble keeping straight whether I already posted someone's congratulations to Darren, or not--there are so many!)

Love this message from Word Theatre. So true about Darren--this is one of his special traits, taking time to support good causes even when he is so busy (and must be very tired). Love so much that he does this time and time again.
This is also one of my favorite performances of his. He sounds fantastic, and I love the visual and musical drama of this performance.d-criss-news:

Some instagram messages (sorry-I didn't do screenshots). The message from Tobi Lynn is especially sweet and heartfelt.

tobitalks ring ring ring. um, my dear, #sweet, #genuine, #kind and #OMG so so so #talented friend @darrencriss won an #emmy tonight. AN EMMY! such a deserving award for such a refreshingly real and wonderfully true-blue human. oh dc, i’m so #happy for you! *side note: darren’s one of the busiest guys in the biz, but he’s also the guy who always texts back, always has a #smile on his face and always shares all of his #positivevibes to those around him. case in point, he sent me a text two days ago apologizing for being so busy and traveling and hence missing my birthday party. he’s a #midwest boy with a #heart of gold, and i feel so #lucky to call him my #friend. #xo #congratulations #DarrenCriss #emmys2018 #babes #bananaphone #flashback #gratitude #tobitalks #adayinthelifeofaDJ

officialmadalinaghenea So happy and proud of you @darrencriss . Darren Criss became the second youngest actor to win the #Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. Thank you #BarryMorrow for giving me the opportunity to work with such a talented actor! #emmys #darrencriss #emmyawards
Darren Criss stole our hearts on Glee, but with The Assassination of Gianni Versace, he proved himself to be an actor of hypnotic depth and endless range. Can't wait to see what you do next.
