The Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy winner called upon the experience of her grandmother in her powerful remarks.
While an Emmys speech can very quickly careen into list-your-colleagues-territory, comedian Alex Borstein took her short amount of time on stage and made it count. The award-winning actress turned her moment in the spotlight into an opportunity to tell a poignant story., Borstein's speech called on her grandmother's experience during the Holocaust, an especially powerful message considering her show features so many powerful Jewish women characters.
My grandmother turned toward a guard—she was in line to be shot into a pit—and said,"What happens if I step out of line?" and he said,"I don't have the heart to shoot you, but somebody will. And she stepped out of line. And for that, I am here. And for that, my children are here. So step out of line, ladies. Step out of line.
Borstein's words immediately captured both the in-person and at-home audience, with"Step out of line" flooding social media feeds. This speech is going to be a hard one to follow—while the category of Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy was a stacked one, it's hard to imagine anyone having a story and joke combination so incredibly poignant and bawdy at the same time.“STEP OUT OF LINE LADIES” - alex borstein..
