I’ve had some doubters. You know what? We’re cool.” “But I also have those people for all these years when the times were rough who were the true believers, I f****** love you men,” Keaton said after receiving his award.

The biggest winners of the night were the crew and cast of “The White Lotus” taking all five awards from the five categories they were nominated for.
