Here are the funny, rare and memorable speech moments at the annual awards from the last few decades.

AceShowbiz - Alan Yang did not only steal the spotlight for sharing the Best Writing for a Comedy prize with Aziz Ansari ("Master of None") in 2016, but also for his raw speech. "There are 17 million Asian Americans in this country, and 17 million Italian Americans. They have 'The Godfather', 'Goodfellas', 'Rocky', 'The Sopranos'. We got Long Duk Dong," he said, referring to stereotypical Asian character portrayed in "Sixteen Candles". Representing minorities in the television industry, he told Asian parents watching the show, "If just a couple of you get your kids cameras instead of violins, we'd be all good."
