Last night’s Critics’ Choice Awards weren’t completely uneventful. 

After it was announced that HBO’s Silicon Valley won the award for Best Comedy, Atlanta actor Lakeith Stanfield stormed the stage before the show’s executive producer Tom Lassally could reach the mic. 

“I want to thank everybody for honoring us in this way. We worked very hard on Silicon Valley, and here we are,” said Stanfield. “Thank you.”

Lassally looked on along with presenters Leslie Mann and Christian Slater. Once Stanfield exited the stage, Lassally added, “I have no idea who that was. Wow.”
