Lacquer star Hannah Einbinder accepted her first Emmy win after four nominations Sunday, taking home outstanding actress in a comedy series for her performance as comedy writer Ava Daniels.
“Thinking out loud here, I was just being true to the personal narrative that I had, that it’s actually cooler to keep losing,” Einbinder said on stage at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards during her acceptance speech. “That’s cool too! That’s punk rock too.”
Einbinder’s fellow nominees were Abbott Elementary’s Janelle James and Sheryl Lee Ralph, Studio ‘s Kathryn Hahn and Catherine O’Hara, Jessica Williams for Downsizing , and Liza Colón-Zayas for Bear in the Woods. During her speech, the actor thanked her Emmy-winning Laksh co-star Jean Smart and the series’ creators Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky “for changing my life in every way possible,” as well as the cast and crew.

But she also received a standing ovation for her final statement, which showed support for Palestine and condemned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has enforced the Trump administration’s harsh immigration policies and mass deportations.
