Hannah Einbinder took home her first Emmy on Sunday for best supporting actress in a comedy series for her role in Hacks at the 2025 awards ceremony.

After being presented the award by Reba McEntire and Little Big Towns Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman, Einbinder took to the stage, where she said its punk rock to win an Emmy.

Thank you so much, wow! Im thinking out loud here I was just really committed to the personal narrative that I have that it was actually cooler to continue to lose. I was pretty committed to that, had to be, right? But this is cool too. This is also punk rock! she said in her acceptance speech. An emotional Einbinder also showed her appreciation to the creators of Hacks, Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky, for changing my life in every conceivable way, but not just by giving me a great gig, but by being my friends and being my family.

And I wanna thank Jean Smart, who is like the sun and I just get to stand in her warmth, she continued, and I also wanna thank the cast and crew of Hacks.

At the end of her speech, Einbinder added, I just wanna say, finally, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine.
