Philadelphia Eagles Get Dragged Into Crazy Hollywood Actress Emmy Speech: 'Go Birds, F**k ICE, Free Palestine'

After a score-happy Week 2 in the NFL, let’s flip over to the Emmy Awards, a show fewer and fewer people seem to watch each year. On Sunday, Emmy-winning actress Hannah Einbinder used her acceptance speech to combine two perennial irritations: Hollywood's politics and the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Accepting Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role on HBO’s Hacks, Einbinder cheered on the Birds while also declaring "F**k ICE" and "Free Palestine." She did so while wearing an Artists4Palestine pin on her gown, making sure the message was visible to those watching at home.

The Hacks crew came armed with talking points, none of which leaned moderate or conservative, of course. 

On Sunday, fellow Hacks actress Meg Stalter arrived in jeans and a white T-shirt at the event, carrying a handbag that read "Cease Fire" in support of Palestine.

On the red carpet, Stalter said: "It’s the most important to stick up for people and for peace... We have to use our platforms. What’s the point of being at these big events if you’re not going to use your privilege?"

Einbinder, the Eagles fan, has been outspoken against Israel since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks, placing blame squarely on the Israeli government. She has supported Palestine as a "queer person" and Jew.

"While we cannot reverse what’s already been done to our planet, we can prevent it from getting worse and we can shift the cost of repairing the damage away from working-class Americans and onto the corporations who committed these crimes. We can make polluters pay. To me, these are traditions of humanity, of care for human life. 

"All human life equally. As a queer person, as a Jewish person, and as an American, I am horrified by the Israeli government’s massacre of well over 65,000 Palestinians."

Meanwhile, actor Javier Bardem, nominated for a series about the Menendez brothers, joined the liberal political chorus. 

Pressed by reporters about Hollywood ties to Israel, Bardem declared: "Here I am today denouncing the genocide in Gaza... Free Palestine!"

The ceremony took place in downtown Los Angeles, a fitting stage for the familiar monolith of Hollywood politics.

As if credibility hadn’t already fallen off a cliff, Television Academy voters handed an Emmy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Sunday.

As one viewer quipped on X: "Hollywood really is a cesspool."

Back to Einbinder, she might be shocked to learn that not all Eagles players share her politics. 

Eagles star Saquon Barkley has been supportive of President Donald Trump, though other Eagles have leaned the opposite way.
