He says: “Whoo! Wow! Umm… Mr. Lively couldn’t be here to accept this broken Emmy, so he sent me on his behalf. First and foremost, Wrexham, we love you. Thank you for letting Rob and the other guy tell your story. I’d also like to thank the Academy for this honour and for not asking to attend the televised awards show with the real celebrities. Mr Lively promises to not f*ck up my next movie.”
