Hacks Star Hannah Einbinder Bleeped Saying 'F—k ICE' During Emmy Speech

Hannah Einbinder, star of HBO Max's "Hacks," won her first Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. During her acceptance speech, she made a bold political statement, saying "Go Birds, f--- ICE, and Free Palestine," which led to the profanity being bleeped during the live CBS broadcast but was heard by the audience and in unedited online footage. Her speech, which also included gratitude toward her family and colleagues, quickly went viral, sparking discussions about immigration enforcement in the U.S. and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Fellow nominee Javier Bardem also used the event to highlight Palestinian rights, wearing a keffiyeh and condemning the Israeli government's actions. Einbinder's outspoken comments came amidst recent intensified ICE raids in Los Angeles, and although the Emmys host had promised to avoid political remarks, the ceremony featured multiple politically charged moments. Despite the controversy and a fine for exceeding her speech time, Einbinder promised to cover the penalty and was warmly applauded by the audience.
