Het mooiste en krachtigste moment van de SAG Awards van vannacht kwam van Stranger Things' David Harbour. De acteur - die hoofd van de politie Jim Hopper speelt in de Netflix-serie - deed namens de cast de bedankspeech toen ze de prijs voor Beste Ensemble in een Dramaserie mee mochten nemen en kreeg de hele zaal op hun voeten.
We kunnen er heel veel woorden aan vuil maken, maar niets zo krachtig als de video zelf, dus bekijk 'm onder aan de pagina. Kippenvel gegarandeerd.
Lees David Harbours hele speech hieronder:
'In light of all that's going on in the world today, it's difficult to celebrate the already celebrated Stranger Things. But this award from you, who take your craft seriously, and earnestly believe, like me, that great acting can change the world is a call to arms from our fellow craftsmen and women to go deeper. And through our art to battle against fear, self-centeredness, and exclusivity of our predominantly narcissistic culture, and through our craft to cultivate a more empathetic and understanding society by revealing intimate truths that serve as a forceful reminder to folks that when they feel broken and afraid and tired, they are not alone.
We are united in that we are all human beings and we are all together on this horrible, painful, joyous, exciting, and mysterious ride that is being alive. Now, as we act in the continuing narrative of Stranger Things, we 1983 Midwesterners will repel bullies. We will shelter freaks and outcasts, those who have no homes. We will get past the lies. We will hunt monsters.
And when we are at a loss amid the hypocrisy and the casual violence of certain individuals and institutions, we will, per Chief Jim Hopper, punch some people in the face when they seek to destroy the disenfranchised and the marginalized, and we will do it all with soul, with heart, and with joy. We thank you for this responsibility. Thank you.'
Winona Ryder was zó into de speech van haar tegenspeler, dat haar briljante gezichtsuitdrukkingen nu viral gaan:
