Britt Lower’s Emmys acceptance speech contained a hilarious ‘Severance’ Easter egg

Severance star Britt Lower took home the award for best lead actress in a drama series at the 2025 Emmys on Sunday, and she didn’t miss the perfect opportunity to give fans a little Easter egg.

Lower’s speech in the video above is normal enough, thanking various people before finally thanking her Severance character, Helly R, “for choosing me.” But eagle-eyed viewers will notice that the words “LET ME OUT” are written in all caps on the back of the notepaper she’s reading from, in a brilliant nod to her “innie” character’s attempts to alert the wider world to Lumon Industries’ dodgy dealings in the show.

Innie Helly R. would surely be proud.

Here’s the full list of Emmys 2025 winners, including Severance star Tramell Tillman.
