'Hacks' Star Hannah Einbinder's Powerful Emmy Speech: What Happened?
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards delivered its usual glitz and glamour, but also a moment that had everyone talking. Hannah Einbinder, star of the hit HBO series Hacks, took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. However, it wasn't just her win that made headlines; it was her acceptance speech.
As she wrapped up her speech, Einbinder, a self-proclaimed Philadelphia Eagles fan, made a statement that included strong language and a political message. According to reports, she said, "Go birds, f--- ICE, and Free Palestine." The "f--- ICE" portion of her statement was reportedly bleeped out during the broadcast.
Host Nate Bargatze, known for his clean comedy, took the stage immediately after Einbinder. He jokingly acknowledged the moment, saying, "She also cursed, and—let me tell ya—I’ll start a swear jar so fast."
What's Next for 'Hacks'?
This Emmy win marks Einbinder's first after being nominated for all four seasons of Hacks. In an interview with Variety, Einbinder revealed that the critically acclaimed show will conclude after its upcoming fifth season. She explained her reasoning, stating, "It’s nice to do something as many times as it should be done. Not overstay your welcome. Rip it and do it and laugh and cry."
A Night for Entertainment and (Mostly) No Politics
Bargatze had previously stated his intention to keep the Emmys relatively free of political commentary, especially given recent events. He told Entertainment Weekly, "I know there’s heartbreaking stuff that’s been happening right now, but I want this night to be an escape, and I think that’s why I was brought on... I just don’t wanna break that trust that I have in them, and just make the night be a fun night.”
Einbinder's Stance on the Israel-Palestine Conflict
Einbinder's comment at the Emmys follows her previous statements regarding the conflict in Gaza. In March, while being honored by the Human Rights Campaign, she expressed her concerns, stating, "As a queer person, as a Jewish person and as an American, I am horrified by the Israeli government’s massacre of well over 65,000 Palestinians in Gaza. I am ashamed and infuriated that this mass murder is funded by our American tax dollars. It should not be controversial to say that we should all be against murdering civilians.”
