Nick Offerman‘s emotions were running high following his win at the Creative Arts Emmys for his guest-starring role on HBO‘s The Last of Us.
The actor had prepared a speech that he says he delivered “with a couple of flubs” after his first Emmy win last night. With emotions settled, Offerman took to social media to share his full, and flub-free speech.
“Well, friends, I won an Emmy art trophy last night for my guest star role HBO’s gorgeous rendition of a Craig Mazin script,” he shared on Instagram with screenshots of his prepared remarks. “I am very grateful for this plaudit but it’s also hard to fully swallow since my work was in a full partnership with the magnificent @murray.bartlett.”
He continued, “I prepared some remarks that I was able to mostly deliver, with a couple of flubs due to my emotions running high, so I thought I’d publish my speech which they generously let me finish. Thanks again to all the strawberry fans.”
In his speech, Offerman acknowledged his scene partner Murray Bartlett, who was also nominated in the Guest Actor category. Offerman called Bartlett his “magnificently generous partner and rightly lauded Aussie top man – the Girth from Perth” and said that “without whom it would have been awfully tough to pull off a beautiful, richly-veined 2-hander.”
The Emmy-winning actor also thanked The Last of Us co-creator Craig Mazin calling the script for the third episode of Season 1 “the best script I’ve ever been handed.”
