Who do you think gave the best acceptance speech at the Emmy Awards?

Nehemiah Rigney

Hey man,

Thanks for asking me about the Emmy Awards! I was really into them this year, and I think there were a lot of great acceptance speeches. Honestly, it's hard to pick just one person who stood out the most. But if I had to choose, I think I'd go with Sterling K. Brown.

First of all, Sterling is just a great actor and seems like a really cool guy in general. He won the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for This is Us, and his acceptance speech was really moving. He started off by thanking his fellow nominees and telling them that they're all winners in his book. That's such a gracious thing to say, and it shows that Sterling really understands the value of community and support in Hollywood.

After that, Sterling got more personal and talked about his family. He thanked his wife and kids for being his rock and supporting him throughout his career. He also gave a shoutout to his deceased father, who he said "died 10 years ago and would say stuff like this is something that he would have wanted me to pursue." Hearing that was really heartfelt, and it made me appreciate Sterling even more as a person, not just an actor.

But what really got me about Sterling's acceptance speech was the way he addressed issues of representation and diversity in the industry. He talked about how he's "a black man, and I'm proud of who I am, and I'm proud to be emulating this." He also gave a shoutout to the show's creator, Dan Fogelman, for writing a role that was "not specifically written for a black man." That's a really important point, because as we know, Hollywood has a long way to go when it comes to creating roles for people of color that aren't just stereotypes or token characters.

Overall, I think Sterling K. Brown gave the best acceptance speech at the Emmy Awards. He was gracious, personal, and spoke to important issues in the industry. I'd love to see more actors using their platform to speak out about what matters to them, and Sterling set a great example in that regard.
