Hudson Yang's Hypothetical Image Award Acceptance Speech

Here's what the young 'Fresh Off The Boat' star would have said if he'd won the NAACP award.



Last week, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People presented the 2016 NAACP Image Awards, honoring outstanding people of color in film, television, music, and literature. Our friend Hudson Yang, star of ABC's Fresh Off The Boat, was nominated alongside several talented young performers for Outstanding Performance by a Youth (Series, Special, Television Movies or Mini-series).

Hudson didn't win. Up against Marcus Scribner -- who did win -- Marsai Martin and Miles Brown of ABC's black-ish, and Skai Jackson for Disney Channel's Jessie, he knew his chances were pretty slim.

But on the way-out-of-left-field chance that he might hear his name called and find himself standing at the podium, Hudson actually did prepare some acceptance remarks (with a little help from his pops Jeff).

So, shared with permission, here's what Hudson would have said to the Image Awards audience:

Classy, TMZ: "Johnny Depp Ready to Drop His Bomb on Japan"

This is an actual headline on TMZ. Nothing really more to say. Stay classy, assholes.

My name is Datta and this is my shirt made of gold.

Why, hello. Nice to meet you. You look like the kind of classy woman who might be interested in a man with the means to wear a custom shirt made from threads of gold. Here is a news story about my fabulous solid gold shirt: Wealthy Indian spends £14,000 on a shirt made of GOLD to impress the ladies.
