Elisabeth Moss, star of Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” delivered an empowering message Sunday night during her acceptance speech for best actress in a TV series — drama.
Moss did nothing less than invoke words from Margaret Atwood’s eponymous novel, giving notice to the world that women would no longer live in the blank white pages at the edge of print.
Moss’ full remarks:
“Thank you. … OK, I have to go fast. HFPA, thank you so much. Hulu and MGM, thank you to my incredible crew, especially Colin [Watkinson] and Julie [Berghoff]. To my incredible cast, I couldn’t do it without you. Especially to Bruce [Miller] and Warren [Littlefield], you two are the kind of men we need more of in this business and I thank you.
“To my team, you know who you are and I love you. My mom and my brother, you are the hero and heroine of my life.
“I brought this [gestures to her notes] because I can’t be trusted. This is from Margaret Atwood. ‘We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edge of print. It gave us our freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories.’
“Margaret Atwood, this is for you and all of the women who came before you and after you, who were brave enough to speak out against intolerance and injustice and to fight for equality and freedom in this world.
“We no longer live in the blank white spaces at the edge of print. We no longer live in the gaps between the stories. We are the story in print, and we are writing the story ourselves.
“Thank you.”
