Britt Lower’s Emmy acceptance speech included a sneaky Severance easter egg [U]

Actress Britt Lower took home one of the two statues awarded to Severance at the Emmy Awards last night, and her acceptance speech included a fun little easter egg. Or was it a cry for help from her innie? Watch it below.

Severance didn’t win for Best Drama, but its cast got some well-deserved nods

Last night at the Emmy Awards, Apple took home a total of 25 statues, most of which went to its hit comedy series The Studio.

Severance, on the other hand, added two statues to the six it had already earned at last week’s Creative Arts awards, including one for Britt Lower, who won Lead Actress in a Drama for her portrayal of Helly R.

During her acceptance speech, she held a small piece of paper containing the names of people she didn’t want to forget to thank. On the back of that piece of paper, however, was a small note that should be familiar to anyone who has watched the show’s first season.

Here is the full clip:

In case you missed it, Tramell Tillman, who plays Mr. Milchick won for Supporting Actor in a Drama. As for The Studio, the show took home 13 statues, including Best Comedy Series.

Here is Tillman’s moving acceptance speech, which followed one of the biggest cheers of the night as his name was announced:


Update: To celebrate The Studio‘s multiple wins, Apple has put up a Billboard that reads “Thank you, Sal Saperstein,” in reference to a gag from episode “The Golden Globes” from the show’s first season.

Apple TV+ is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Severance, The StudioThe Morning ShowShrinking and Silo.
