Yahoo News Elisabeth Moss drops F-bomb during Emmys speech
F**k yes.
The Handmaid's Tale won big at this year's Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series which is the least that the Hulu show deserved.
Elisabeth Moss also emerged from the ceremony as a big winner, landing the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series – and she was so shocked that she had to be censored not once, but twice!

As she went up on stage after her name was called out, Moss (who plays June/Offred in the dystopian series) uttered the F-bomb.
And then she did it again during her acceptance speech while paying tribute to her mother.
"You are brave and strong and smart, and you have taught me that you can be kind and f**king badass," she said.

Backstage, Moss admitted that she got a little over-excited – but who can blame her?
"That was the best version [of the speech] you could have possibly gotten of that," she said. "That was the clean version.
"You really do have a weird, out-of-body experience. It's always a surprise. It should be a surprise, otherwise you're an asshole. So there I go."
The Handmaid's Tale also won Outstanding Supporting Actress (yay for Ann Dowd), Directing, and Writing for a Drama Series. So all in all, a very good night for the acclaimed show.
Last week, Alexis Bledel was awarded Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her part as Emily (aka Ofglen) on the series.
The Handmaid's Tale returns for season two next year.
