You must have watched all the winning speeches of the 2025 Emmy Awards, but Hannah Einbinder and John Oliver’s remarks were bleeped.

On Sept. 14, amid the CBS live broadcast, many viewers were shocked by what the stars had said that was censored.

Einbinder’s first-ever Emmy came for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Ava in Hacks.

The actress went over her allotted time for the speech, beginning by extending thanks to the creators of the hit HBO comedy for "changing my life in every conceivable way, but not just by giving me a great gig, but by being my friends and being my family."

She also gave a shoutout to her co-star Jean Smart, who she said is "like the sun."

Einbinder used her final words to speak out about the highly sensitive Middle Eastern issue as her speech time ran out.

She boldly stated, “I’ll pay the difference, sorry. Finally, I want to say, Go Birds, F*** ICE and Free Palestine.”

Following Einbinder, later in the ceremony, political commentator and comedian Oliver was bleeped during his acceptance speech.

The host received the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Series for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

“F--- you, Nate Bargatze, that is a lot of money for you,” he said, referring to the show's host's bit about how lengthy acceptance speeches would mean a smaller donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

"And you can add a f--- to the swear jar as well," the late-night host added.
