Hannah Einbinder Wins Emmy, Condemns ICE, Calls to Free Palestine

Hannah Einbinder won her first Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Ava Daniels on HBO Max's "Hacks" at the 2025 ceremony. During her acceptance speech, Einbinder expressed gratitude to the show's creators and cast, calling winning "punk rock." She concluded her speech with a politically charged message, saying, "Go Birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," which marked one of the ceremony's most overt political moments. Einbinder, a longtime Philadelphia Eagles fan, beat out notable nominees including Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, and Liza Colón-Zayas. "Hacks" received 14 Emmy nominations this year, with Jean Smart winning for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. The event was hosted by Nate Bargatze and aired live from Los Angeles.
