Emmy Awards 2025: Hannah Einbinder claims her political stance; her speech gets bleeped for television

Hannah Einbinder, the recipient of the Emmy 2025 for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series, gave a striking speech while accepting the prestigious award, standing true to her morals. After a prolonged period of being overdue, the 30-year-old won for her role of Ava Daniels in ‘Hacks,’ even after getting nominated for the last three seasons.

During the acceptance speech, Einbinder made a bold political statement that soon became a topic of discussion. After she embraced the creative team of the show, she received the trophy and pointed at her narrative of just being cooler to lose the award – until she won. “I was just really committed to the personal narrative that I had that it was actually cooler to continue to lose,” she quipped, before adding, “But this is cool too! This is also punk rock.”


As she continued to be grateful and thank her team, the ticker started to show that she went ahead of the 45-second per speech rule. The timer refers to the host, Nate Bargatze’s challenge of completing their speech in or under 45 seconds, and if it exceeds, USD 1000 would be deducted per second from a planned donation to the Boys & Girls Club.

“Um, I’ll pay the difference, sorry,” she said gracefully. Continuing with the speech. Concluding her speech, Einbinder gave a shoutout to her favorite football team and her stance on international affairs. “Go Birds, f— ICE, and free Palestine,” she said, getting a roar from the entire Peacock Theatre. Her speech was partially bleeped for television broadcast.

Furthermore, Hannah also wore a red Artists4Ceasefire pin on her dress. Einbinder belongs to the 4000 artists of Hollywood who signed a pledge not to work with Israeli film companies or institutions they find complicit in genocide and apartheid.
