There are great Emmy award acceptance speeches, and there are terrible ones. Actress Parker Posey, playing a character named JA,N, or “Just Act, Naturally,” wants to make sure that Emmy nominees have honed the skills they need before their names are called to accept the award.

“The Emmy acceptance speech is the first time you get to show the world who you really are,” one of the “students” in the short says. “Well, not who you really are, but the character that JA,N says you should be. And I like that, because I don’t like me very much. “
