The Emmys are full of potty mouths. This is the age of streaming, baby! Hannah Einbinder, John Oliver, and more 2025 Emmy winners had their speeches bleeped, leaving those who aren’t in the Peacock Theater wondering: WTF are they saying in there?
Here’s what the censored speeches of the night actually said. Just because they were bleeped doesn’t mean they can’t get their message across.
Einbinder closed her winning speech for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series with Hacks by shouting out her home team and sharing her political beliefs as the speech timer, one that also calculated the loss of money to be donated to the Boys & Girls Club if the winner went over 45 seconds in their speech, went on. But Einbinder offered to pay the difference. “Go Birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine,” she concluded. She was bleeped in the middle of her sentence, but the rest of the message came through loud and clear.
While the tail end of Oliver’s winning speech for Best Scripted Variety Series was censored in the U.S., international audiences received the whole message. “Fuck you, Nate Bargatze, that is a lot of money to you!” Oliver shouted, facing the side of the stage, referencing the strange donation bit. Earlier in the show, Bargatze subtly shamed Einbinder for swearing and Oliver didn’t forget. “You can add the fucks to the swear jar!” he concluded, censored as well.
Erin Doherty, who won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Adolescence, had a much cheekier bleep. “Thank you to the Academy. You’re all fucking stunning,” Doherty apparently exclaimed as she walked off stage.
This is a developing story.
