On the red carpet, Stalter wore a plain white t-shirt and blue jeans with a black belt and a large purse, which said the words "CEASE FIRE!" Einbinder herself wore a red pin from the group Artists4Ceasefire to the Emmys, which was likewise sported by celebs like Javier Bardem and Aimee Lou Wood as a sartorial call to end the conflict.Einbinder went over time on her awards speech, which, according to the rules set by host comedian Nate Bargatze, subtracted funds from a donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Los Angeles. Making her statement was clearly worth it to the former Out cover star she said she would pay the difference.This is not Einbinder's first time addressing Palestine. At a Human Rights Campaign event in March, the actress said in a speech: As a queer person, as a Jewish person and as an American, I am horrified by the Israeli governments massacre of well over 65,000 Palestinians in Gaza. I am ashamed and infuriated that this mass murder is funded by our American tax dollars. It should not be controversial to say that we should all be against murdering civilians.In recent months, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, at the direction of the Trump administration, has been conducting controversial immigration raids in Los Angeles, Einbinder's home town. She is also a big fan of the Philadelphia Eagles.On Sunday, Jean Smart also won an Emmy (her seventh) in the category of Best Comedy Actress for her Hacks role of Deborah Vance. Lets be good to each other, she said in her own speech.Hacks was nominated in 14 categories at this year's Emmy Awards. Last weekend, Julianne Nicholson also took home the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy trophy for her Hacks turn as Dance Mom.
