Emmys 2017 Acceptance Speeches: Were Certain Winners Cut Off Too Soon? Analyzing the Numbers
Sterling K. Brown called out the producers for playing him off, but you'd be surprised how short some of this year's acceptance speeches were — or how long they could be...
Sometimes acceptance speeches can feel like they last an eternity — even when the show’s producers attempt to cut them off early — and other times, the winners are so boisterous that it would be fine if they went on forever. But here’s the truth: Acceptance speeches are rarely as long as you might think. Here’s a look at the length of some of this year’s thank yous.
Alexander Skarsgard, “Big Little Lies,” Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series: 37 seconds
Notable for being the shortest of the night, while also quite charming. He could have stayed on the stage a little longer.
Jean-Marc Vallee, “Big Little Lies,” Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series: 1 minute, 2 seconds
The “Big Little Lies” director also got played off — though in one of the night’s more surreal moments, the music of choice wasn’t a song from the HBO limited series, but a blast of “9 to 5,” which they must have had cued up because Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton were set to present next.
Laura Dern, “Big Little Lies,” Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series: 1 minute, 21 seconds
Here’s about the mark where these speeches started feeling pretty lengthy. But it was Dern’s first Emmys win, and thus a big moment for her.
“Big Little Lies,” Outstanding Limited Series: 1 minute, 35 seconds
Both stars Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman accepted this award, and repeated comments they’ve made previously about the need for more roles for women. This followed Kidman’s win for Best Actress, which will make an appearance far further down this list.
And here’s where it gets interesting. When Brown got played off the stage, he tried to fight it — but his speech still ended up being the second longest of the night. (Brown was given the chance to finish his speech in front of reporters in the Emmy press room.) However, the longest speech was…
Nicole Kidman, “Big Little Lies,” Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series: 2 minutes, 45 seconds
…And the producers never even hinted at playing the music — perhaps because of her stature as an actress, and because she devoted a fair portion of her time on screen to discussing the issue of domestic abuse.
What do we learn from all this? That most acceptance speeches aren’t really as long as they might seem, and that you can never tell who might choose to grab that mike and not let it go.

But now that you mentioned it I have been to Spain many times, i love it there, and have worked with a lot of Spanish people. The women are very beautiful and the men very attractive. Lucky you
