Last year’s Golden Globe Awards taught us that Jennifer Coolidge is adept at giving memorably chaotic speeches, and she certainly didn’t disappoint at this year’s Emmys.
After picking up the Emmy for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as wealthy heiress Tanya McQuoid in The White Lotus, Coolidge took to the stage and started thanking people — including “all the evil gays” that memorably try to murder her character in the show.
The line is a throwback to one of the most-memed scenes of the show’s second season, and it’s probably fair to say that Coolidge deserved the award for that exchange alone.
