In his speech, Stan thanked his co-star Adam Pearson and director Aaron Schimberg and said that he shared the award with them.

"Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now," he said. "We have to normalize it and continue to expose ourselves to it and our children, encourage acceptance. One way we can do that is by continuing to champion stories that are inclusive."

"This was not an easy movie to make," he continued. "Neither is 'The Apprentice,' the other film that I was lucky to be a part of and that I am proud to be in. These are tough subject matters, but these films are real, and they are necessary, and we can't be afraid and look away."

At the end of his speech, Stan dedicated his award to his mom, who he said left Romania "in search of a better life and gave me everything," as well as his stepfather, who he said "took on a single mom and a grown-up kid."

Other nominees in the category included Jesse Eisenberg for "A Real Pain," Hugh Grant for "Heretic," Gabriel LaBelle for "Saturday Night," Jesse Plemons for "Kinds of Kindness" and Glen Powell for "Hit Man."

Stan is also nominated for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (drama) for "The Apprentice."
