Olivia Colman’s acceptance speeches really are a gift, and we’re happy to see that she delivered another corker at this year’s Golden Globes.
The
British Actress had a huge year in 2019, which began with wins at the
Golden Globes and Academy Awards and ended with her making her debut as
Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, succeeding Claire Foy in the role.
Her portrayal of the monarch has been well-received since it began streaming on
Netflix, so much so that she was awarded Best Actress In A TV Drama at the Golden Globes.
However, despite having been up on that same stage just a year earlier, Olivia admitted that she hadn’t exactly prepared herself for a win. "I already got a little bit boozy, because I thought this wasn't gonna happen."

Hollywood Reporter (@THR) January 6, 2020Olivia joked: “I had money on this not happening. For the last year I’ve felt like I’ve been living someone else’s life, and now I definitely feel like I’ve won someone else’s award.”
“To all my fellow nominees, I don’t really know what to say, because I’ve already got a little bit boozy,” she continued. “Because I didn’t think this was going to happen. Completely stumped.”After shouting out Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s success for Fleabag (“yay!”, Olivia said), she then admitted she’d been enjoying a night of celeb-spotting, revealing: “Honestly, sitting there and watching everybody, it’s been so exciting. We’ve gone, ‘Look who it is! Look who’s there!’”
Olivia was one of an array of British winners at this year’s Golden Globes, where the Fleabag creator celebrated two wins, and Brian Cox was awarded Best
Actor In A TV Drama for his performance in Succession.READ MORE...
