Hollywood celebrities love charity… until it costs them something that goes beyond their abundant money. This was proven at the 2025 Emmys when a gag by comedian Nate Bargatze exposed the selfishness of Hollywood celebrities, who siphoned $100,000 away from a children’s charity with their longwinded self-indulgent acceptance speeches.
Upon receiving his award at the Emmys, Colbert was quoted stating, “Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. Ten years later, in September of 2025, my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately. God bless America. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor!”
When it comes to self-importance, Hollywood never disappoints. Sunday night’s Emmy Awards tried something different: host Nate Bargatze set up a clever gimmick where Hollywood celebrity winners could either help raise money for kids in need or — if they couldn’t keep their mouths shut — siphon funds away. And guess what happened? Hollywood Emmy speeches proved exactly why so many people can’t stand award shows anymore.
Elizabeth Banks just had her second major awards-show faceplant at the Emmys, and this one might be even funnier than the last.
At the 2025 Emmy Awards, Banks was tapped to present Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Rather than simply introduce the nominees and let the moment speak for itself, she tried to make it into a feminist statement. Banks proudly pointed out that five of the six nominees were women, touting it as a big cultural milestone.
Cue the punchline: the one man nominated — Philip Barantini, for Adolescence — immediately won.
