Here’s the Emmy news that US President Donald Trump will probably hate. Alec Baldwin won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his Trump impression in Saturday Night Live.
In his acceptance speech, Alec still poked fun at Trump. “At long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy,” he said, pointing at the president’s non-win when he still hosted The Apprentice. (Even late-night host Stephen Colbert mentioned that in a monologue.) Alec also said that the orange wig acted as a birth control for him and his wife.
Jokes aside, Alec also reminded his fellow actors to never stop speaking up for what’s right. “What we do is important; to all of you out there in motion pictures and television, don’t stop doing what you’re doing, the audience is counting on you.”
Some netizens are already predicting what Trump would tweet later about the win. Especially since he’s not the biggest fan of Alec’s impersonation.
Meanwhile, others also virtually rolled their eyes and demanded that celebrities shouldn’t be political at award shows. (Rolling our eyes at them, too.)
Congratulations, Alec! Looking forward to seeing more hilarious impersonations from you.
