"After all, who are these actors, these Hollywood types think they are? Citizens in a democracy? Well, F**k 'em!" She also reflected on the time she first heard Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech.
Accepting the Norman Lear Lifetime Achievement Award, out producer Gerg Berlanti described how Lear's work impacted his life and said his experience growing up gay in a distinctly homophobic environment is being paralleled again right now in some States.
"I think you have to understand what it was like to be 'other' in the '70s or the early '80s. I was a deeply closeted gay kid, and the kind of vitriol we're seeing now so openly by members of the Florida legislature, or by the Governor of Texas about trans kids or gender non-conforming young people and their families, there was that kind of homophobia, overt and casual in almost every corner or every room."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the night's other winners included Ted Lasso and Succession for episodic TV, comedy and drama, respectively. Summer of Soul, Encanto, Mare of Easttown and The Beatles: Get Back also took home awards. |
