Hannah Einbinder Wins Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in Comedy and Addresses Political Issues

Hannah Einbinder won her first Emmy at the 2025 awards for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Ava Daniels in ‘Hacks’. During her acceptance speech, she expressed gratitude to the show’s creators and cast, calling her win ‘punk rock’ and highlighting the personal significance of her career journey. Einbinder concluded her speech with political statements, saying ‘go birds, f*** ICE and free Palestine.’ She later explained backstage that she wanted to speak about the Israel-Palestine conflict because of her personal connection to friends in Gaza and her belief that Judaism should be distinguished from the Israeli state. Einbinder also discussed her support for the Film Workers for Palestine boycott, which targets institutions rather than individuals involved in human rights abuses against Palestinians. ‘Hacks’ received 14 Emmy nominations this year, including Best Comedy Series and Best Actress for Jean Smart, who also won. The 77th Emmy Awards were hosted by Nate Bargatze and aired live from the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles on September 14, 2025.
