Jennifer Coolidge was honored at the 80th Golden Globes ceremony on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

She received the trophy for Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries, Anthology or Movie, thanks to the role of Tanya McQuoid whom she interprets in

The White Lotus

.

If his work was praised, his acceptance speech was given a standing ovation.



The actress was indeed very moved to win her first Golden Globe after more than three decades of career in the shadow of others, but she did not forget the humor that characterizes her to convey messages.

“I just want to say one thing… Of all the people present here, there are just five who gave me work, small roles, for twenty years.

Ryan Murphy, you were one of them.

It was these small jobs that allowed me to continue.

So it was you, Ryan, and then, let's see, who else?

It was actually just you, Ryan,” she began.

Jennifer Coolidge then recalled that it is not always easy for actors to chain secondary roles throughout their career.

And it must be said that, until now, one of her most outstanding roles has been that of Stifler's mother in

American Pie

and that of Paulette in

The Revenge of a Blonde

.

" I love you to death "

Jennifer Coolidge said she had "big dreams and huge expectations" when she was younger and thought she would become, like Grace Kelly, "the Queen of Monaco".

Unfortunately, not everything went as planned.

Jennifer Coolidge ended her speech with a lovely tribute to series writer Mike White for giving her the role of a lifetime.

She thanked him for "giving her hope" and "a fresh start."

“Even though you decided to kill me, but that doesn't matter.

Even though this is the end, you have changed my life in a million different ways,” she added.

This character has indeed changed her professional but also personal life, because, as she pointed out: “My neighbors talk to me now.

I was never invited to their parties and now the invitations are pouring in!

» After making the assembly laugh, Jennifer Coolidge made them shiver by saying to Mike White « I love you to death!

which earned him a standing ovation.
