'Atlanta's Keith Stanfield crashes 'Silicon Valley' acceptance speech at Critics Choice Awards

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- Atlanta star Keith Stanfield rushed the stage to give an impromptu speech Sunday at the Critics Choice Awards after Silicon Valley won Best Comedy Series.

"I wanna thank everybody for honoring us in this way," the actor said as Silicon Valley executive producer Tom Lassally stood by onstage before he had accepted the award.

"We worked very hard on Silicon Valley, and here we are. Thank you," Stanfield continued.

"Wow. No idea who that was," Lassally said after Stanfield exited the stage.

"Unfortunately, Alec Berg was sick tonight, so he and I are both substitutions," he continued towards Stanfield while mentioning a fellow executive producer.

While Silicon Valley won for Best Comedy Series for the second year in a row, Atlanta star and creator Donald Glover took home the award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series .
