She just made history.
In her 70-second speech, the star demonstrated exactly why the award belongs to her, making us both laugh and cry almost in the same instant. “This is great,” she deadpanned, clutching the Globe statue. “If I fall upon hard times, I could sell this, so that’s good.” Graciously thanking the team behind the movie, she went on to dedicate the award to her dad, saying, “I told you I’d get a job, Dad.”
She also dedicated the award “to my grandma, my best friend, the woman who raised me. And to my mother Tia, who I always hope is watching from somewhere above, and I hope that she’s watching now.”Playing the part of a young woman, Billie, whose love for family and independent streak keep her trapped between two cultures, was “the chance of a lifetime,” Awkwafina said.
