Wait, what?
Niecy Nash-Betts thanked herself at Monday night’s Emmy Awards while accepting the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series in “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”
She channeled Snoop Dogg, who did the identical thing when he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018.
“I’m a winner, baby!” Nash, 53, said emphatically. “Thanks to probably the most high for this divine moment.
“Thanks, Ryan Murphy, for seeing me. Evan Peters, I really like you. Netflix,” she continued.
“Each one that voted for me. Thanks,” she went on. “My higher half [Jessica Betts], who picked me up once I was gutted from this work. Thanks.”
Nash then turned the highlight on herself.
“I need to thank me, for believing in me and doing what they said I couldn’t do,” she said. “I need to say to myself in front of all you beautiful people, ‘Go, girl, along with your bad self. You probably did that.’
“Finally, I accept this award on behalf of each black and brown woman who’ve gone unheard, yet overpoliced, like Glenda Cleveland, like Sandra Bland, like Breonna Taylor!
“As an artist my job is to talk truth to power, and baby, I’m going to do it till the day I die.
“Mama, I won!”
In “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” Nash Betts plays Dahmer’s neighbor Glenda Cleveland — who tried to warn cops about his behavior but was repeatedly ignored.
Nash-Betts said later backstage: “I’m the just one who knows how much it cost me. I’m the just one who knows what number of nights I cried because I couldn’t be seen for a certain form of role.”
Snoop Dogg did something similar — thanking himself quite a few times when he was honored in Hollywood greater than five years ago.
“I need to thank me for believing in me. I need to thank me for doing all this difficult work,” he said when accepting his star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“I wanna thank me for having no days off. I wanna thank me for never quitting. I wanna thank me for all the time being a giver and trying to offer greater than I receive.
He continued on this vein.
“I wanna thank me for attempting to do more right than flawed,” he continued, as the group cheered.
“I wanna thank me for being me at all time. Snoop Dogg you a foul motherf – – ker.”
