The Bear ‘s Jeremy Allen White scored a second Emmy for his leading role of Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, but part of his touching acceptance speech appears to remain a mystery.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you so much,” he gushed at the mic. “My heart is just beating right out of its chest.”
He expressed his gratitude to the Academy and to his fellow nominees, whose company he said he was “so honored” to be in.
“Chris and Joe, thank you for choosing me,” he continued, referring to Christopher Storer and Joanna Calo . “I’m so, so, so lucky. I’m so grateful. Thank you. My beautiful cast, I love you forever. I love to work with you and I just, I want us to be in each other’s life for forever. I love you so dearly.”
White was then briefly censored, as he continued speaking while looking toward the camera. Once the audio returned, viewers at home could hear some laughs emerge from the audience, as he proceeded to highlight how the show has “changed [his] life.”
“It has instilled a faith that change is possible, that change is possible if you are able to reach out,” he continued. “You are really, truly, never actually alone.”
He then thanked his parents and his sister Annabelle, the last of whom he brought to Sunday night’s awards ceremony. Music began to play as he rushed to conclude his speech.
When asked about the decision to censor White’s remark, which viewers have speculated was “Jesus Christ” as he scrambled to end his speech, Jesse Collins Entertainment president Dionne Harmon told Variety that they “don’t control the button, and [they] don’t hear it.”
“We’re on a delay so we see what happens,” she added. “We don’t have a feed to the real show. We don’t have the button.”
Tonight’s hosts Dan and Eugene Levy poked fun at the FX dramedy remaining in the comedy category during their opening monologue, as the former quipped that “in the true spirit of The Bear, [they] will not be making any jokes.”
