During the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards, Jennifer Coolidge was honored with the Comedic Genius Award, becoming only the sixth person to receive the coveted honor, which recognizes “actors who have made incomparable contributions to the world of comedy, providing a major influence through their work and transforming the genre at-large.” However, this year, Coolidge accepted the award in a pre-recorded video message.
The annual MTV award show was originally slated to air live, but due to the ongoing WGA writers’ strike, the ceremony was pre-taped. “Thank you, MTV,” the actress began. “Thank you for honoring me with this incredible Comedic Genius Award.” Coolidge went on to name-drop the comics who have won the award before her, noting she is honored to be in their company.
The “White Lotus” star then said that she stands in solidarity with the WGA writers’ strike. “Almost all great comedy starts with great writers.
I just think as a proud member of SAG (Screen Actors Guild,) I stand here before you tonight side-by-side with my sisters and brothers from the WGA that are fighting right now, fighting for the rights of artists everywhere,” she said.
