The Awardist Emmys Jennifer Coolidge refuses to get cut off at Emmys, dances to play-off music instead She beat out all her fellow White Lotus nominees to win Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. By Sydney Bucksbaum Sydney Bucksbaum Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out. EW's editorial guidelines Published on September 12, 2022 09:50PM EDT Playing music to cut awards show acceptance speeches short may work on mere mortals, but it's powerless against an icon like Jennifer Coolidge. As The White Lotus star was accepting her Emmy Award at the 2022 ceremony on Monday night, she became visibly flustered when the play-off music began before she finished her list of thank yous. But she refused to abandon the stage, choosing instead to dance along to the music. "Wait, hold on," Coolidge said as the music played. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing and I'm full. I'm full! Wait, wait, wait, hold on, wait. Wait hold on!" She continued to dance to the music as the audience laughed before she was handed her Emmy statue. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to finish her speech.

She began her acceptance speech with her now-signature, "Hey, hi, wow." "Gosh. What a night," she continued with a laugh. "I just want to say, to my fellow nominees, just to be in your company is incredible. And I just want to say, I took a lavender bath tonight right before the show, and it made me swell up inside my dress and I'm having a hard time speaking. But anyway, this is so thrilling because [bleep]." So that makes two strikes against the Emmy producers — one for cutting off Coolidge, and another for bleeping her. The 74th Emmy Awards air live Monday night on NBC and stream live on Peacock.
