Though he didn’t nab the Golden Globe, Rami Malek shined bright last night as he won the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. I’m over the moon for him and the Mr. Robot cast for winning three top prizes: Best Drama Series, Best Actor for Rami Malek and Supporting Actor for Christian Slater. Rami gave a short but sweet speech where he thanked his mom (“she’s fearless”), his cast, the crew and the writers. He gave special shout-outs to fellow actor Christian Slater and show creator Sam Esmail. He then ended his speech with a beautiful line: “It’s not just good to be different; it’s better to be different.” Right on.
On a side note, did you catch Rami on Ellen? It was his “Ellen” debut. So great that Ellen’s a fan of the show. Watch the video to the end. (Loved how he gave Ellen a sweet walk down memory lane. I had no idea that she was the first female comedian to be invited by Johnny Carson to chat on the The Tonight Show‘s couch.) Rami’s such a class act. I can’t get enough of him.
