Jennifer Coolidge revealed why her MTVAward is 'ironic' — and gave a shout-out to the WGA amid their strike.
The Massachusetts native is the sixth person to receive the special prize and quipped that the award was the perfect shape for her. “I’m sure you know this — well, actually, you probably don’t. The reason why I’m so thrilled — it’s just ironic that this award would be made of my favorite food: popcorn.”
Coolidge turned the subject to the Writers Guild of America strike. Because of the labor stoppage, the WGA was to picket the live show at Santa Barbara Hanger in California. MTV canceled the red carpet and made the ceremony pre-taped instead of live after host“Almost all great comedy starts with great writers, and I just think that as a proud member of SAG, I stand here before you tonight side-by-side with my sisters and brothers in the WGA that are fighting right now.
“I think of the words of Shakespeare where he once said, ‘The play is the thing.’ Well, I don’t wanna put words in his mouth or anything, but I think what he really meant was, it’s everything,” she concluded. The star danced with her golden popcorn to conclude her segment.
