Nanjiani, Ray Romano, Holly Hunters and Zoe Kazan accepted the award, followed by a speech from Nanjiani.
“I want to thank Carlos at HFA, thank you so much for having us here. We have a lot of people to thank but I truly truly want to thank our cast. It’s a very intimate and personal story and I was nervous about the people joining but I would never go on this journey with anyone but you,” expressed Nanjiani.

He continued, “You all poured yourselves into this and gave a piece of yourself to this movie. It is a gift that my wife and I will cherish forever. I owe you so if you ever need a ride from the airport or help moving, I’m your guy. Also, most of all I want to thank the love of my life Emily Gordon. Thank you for waking up and writing this with me.”
