Leslie Mann and Christian Slater presented the award to HBO's "Silicon Valley" but before the cast could give the acceptance speech, Stanfield rushed to the stage with his own little speech.
"I want to thank everybody for honoring us in this way. We worked very hard on Silicon Valley and here are we. Thank you," the actor said to a stunned audience.
Executive producer Tom Lassally awkwardly paced behind Stanfield until ultimately making a quick exit. "I have no idea who that was," Lassally initially responded.
"Silicon Valley" successfully fought off competition from "Atlanta", "Black-ish", "Fleabag", "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt", "Modern Family" and "Veep" in the category but it seems Stanfield thought the award should have gone to their show.
Stanfield's co-star Donald Glover won the award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on the FX show.
