Jeff Hiller took home the award for supporting actor in a comedy series for his role in Somebody Somewhere at the 2025 Emmy Awards on Sunday, marking his first win at the awards show.

“I feel like I’m gonna cry because the past 25 years I’ve been like, ‘World, I wanna be an actor’ and the world’s like, ‘Maybe computers,'” Hiller said at the beginning of his acceptance speech. He then thanked HBO for “putting a show about sweaty, middle aged people on the same network as the sexy teens of Euphoria .”

Hiller went on to thank the show’s writers for penning a show “about connecting and love in this time when compassion is seen as a weakness.”
