In a memorable night at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, Colin Farrell and Jodie Foster took home major acting honors, with Foster's win leading to an unexpected comedic moment with fellow nominee Sofia Vergara.
Farrell won best actor in a limited television series for his portrayal of Oswald Cobblepot in HBO's "The Penguin." During his acceptance speech, Farrell took time to recognize the unsung heroes of production, giving a special mention to Carolina from craft services. "On those cold winter nights in New York where I was the only one overheating, she'd be there with a coconut water every half an hour," Farrell remarked.
The evening's most talked-about moment came when Foster won best female actor in a limited series for her role in "True Detective: Night Country." As Foster took the stage, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara playfully heckled from her seat, shouting "No, no, no!" before making her way to the front of the stage.
Foster handled the moment with grace, acknowledging Vergara's theatrical protest with "I know, I know," before delivering a unifying acceptance speech that emphasized the strength of the acting community. "The greatest thing about being this age and being in this time, is having a community of all these people, especially you Sofia," Foster said.
Later backstage, Farrell showed his supportive nature once again when he waited for fellow winner Tadanobu Asano to finish his press room duties. When his team attempted to hurry him along, Farrell quipped, "Stop trying to break us up!"
The ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, featured numerous memorable moments, including several unexpected wins and heartfelt speeches that kept viewers engaged throughout the evening.
