Amy Schumer won Best Actress in a Comedy at the 21st Critics' Choice Awards not without a reason. The "Trainwreck" actress proved that she had great sense of humor by giving a hilarious acceptance speech as she joked about her belly while poking fun at her nude photo.
"I am plus-plus-size actress Amy Schumer," she opened her speech. "Thank you for this trophy, covering the reason I have to write my own [stuff]," she joked. "If you're an actress and you have this area right here, you have to write your own stuff if you want to get it made," Schumer said while pinching her belly.
She went on poking fun at her 2015 nude photo which was captured by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. "This is where I get really brave. That's what you want everybody to say when a naked photo of you goes viral, you want them to say: 'What a brave photo.' Like wow, thanks. Thank you," Schumer said.
Before thanking the critics and "Trainwreck" director Judd Apatow, Schumer acknowledged managers she fired. "I thought I could make slightly more money with other people so I went to them," she joked. While the crowd burst into laughter, the 34-year-old actress called herself out. "This is so boring, I'm so sorry. Shut up Amy. No one cares," she said.
In the middle of her speech, Schumer also threw a special shoutout to her boyfriend Ben Hanisch, who was her date at the awards show. Before the actress headed to the stage to accept the award, she passionately kissed Hanisch in front of thousands of attendees.
