1. Hannah’s Big Win at the 2025 Emmys
At the 77th Emmy Awards, Hannah Einbinder finally won her first Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Ava Daniels in the HBO Max series Hacks. This was after several previous nominations.

During her acceptance, Einbinder closed with a powerful, political statement:
“Go Birds, f-ICE, and free Palestine.”

The phrase “f-ICE” (referring to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was bleeped in the televised broadcast but was heard uncensored by the live audience and later online in full.

Einbinder also wore an Artists4Ceasefire pin and showed her long-standing support for causes including Palestinian humanitarian aid (via Pal Humanity) and pro-choice advocacy.
3. Fresh Haircut & Red Carpet Moves
After the Emmys ceremony, Einbinder celebrated with friends at Chateau Marmont where she chopped her hair into a chin-grazing bob. This haircut is intended for Season 5 of Hacks.
She swapped her gown for a sleek black mini dress for the afterparty and commented with humor on what she calls “bob life,” acknowledging the emotional adjustment involved.
4. Hacks Season 5: The Final Chapter
Einbinder also confirmed that Season 5 will be Hacks’ last. She expressed a bittersweet feeling but said she and the show’s creators feel it’s right — “nice to do something as many times as it should be done… not overstay your welcome.”
