Golden Globes 2019: Rami Malek Wins Best Actor For ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ Glenn Close Wins For ‘The Wife’ [FULL WINNERS LIST]

Glenn Close won a Golden Globe on Sunday night for her leading performance in the drama film The Wife. 

Close, 71, now has three Globes, although this is her first for her work in film. She previously won in 2007 for her role in the legal drama series Damages and in 2004 for the made-for-television film The Lion in Winter. 

The Wife — directed by Swedish filmmaker Björn Runge and co-starring Jonathan Pryce and Christian Slater — took 14 years to make, something Close noted in her acceptance speech. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Meg Wolitzer. 

Close — who also said she has been working in Hollywood for nearly 45 years — seemed beyond honored to received her award, and delivered a rousing feminist speech that garnered a standing ovation. She encouraged women to not simply fulfill roles as dutiful housewives and mothers to children, but to also fulfill their dreams and ambitions.

“I’m thinking of my mom who really sublimated herself to my father her whole life and in her 80s she said to me, ‘I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything,'” said Close. “And it was so not right, and I feel what I’ve learned through this whole experience is that women, we’re nurturers. That’s what’s expected of us. We have our children, we have our husbands, if we’re lucky enough, and our partners, whoever. But we have to find personal fulfillment. We have to follow our dreams. We have to say, ‘I can do that and I should be allowed to do that.'”

50 CELEBRITIES WHO DIED IN 2018 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW

Close’s daughter Annie Starke is also an actress. Close beat out Lady Gaga — believed to be a top contender for her role in A Star Is Born — Melissa McCarthy (Can You Ever Forgive Me?) Rosamund Pike (A Private War) and Nicole Kidman (Destroyer) to win the prize.

Close’s speech touched on a similar issue pointed out by actress Regina King, who also won a Golden Globe earlier in the evening for her supporting role in the Barry Jenkins-directed drama film If Beale Street Could Talk. 

King made a promise about her commitment to future projects in entertainment involving women and challenged celebrities in the audience to do the same.

“I’m going to use my platform right now to say, in the next two years, everything that I produce I am making a vow — and it’s going to be tough — to make sure that everything that I produce…is 50 percent women,” said King. “I challenge…anyone out there who is in a position of power — not just in our industry, in all industries— I challenge you to challenge yourself and stand with us.”

King drew a standing ovation for her powerful statement.

Rami Malek, the star of USA drama series Mr. Robot, won Best Actor (Drama) for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. 

Malek, 37, thanked Queen and its legendary lead singer in his acceptance speech.

“Thank you to Freddie Mercury for giving me the joy of a lifetime,” he continued. “I love you, you beautiful man. This is for and because of you, gorgeous.”

British actress Olivia Colman, 44, gave her own funny speech in accepting the Golden Globe for Best Actress (Comedy) for her performance in The Favourite. Colman plays Queen Anne of England in the darkly comic and raunchy period piece set in early 18th century England directed by Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster).

In her speech, Colman joked about being on a private jet and consuming lots of food like sandwiches and also thanked many people including her co-stars Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, whom she called her “bitches.” Stone and Weisz were among many celebrities to laugh at the remark.

Jeff Bridges also received this year’s prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award, which Oprah Winfrey won last year and Meryl Streep the year before that.

In his joyful and anecdotal speech — which followed a video tribute to “The Dude” in his many film roles throughout the decades including The Big Lebowski — Bridges thanked many people including the Cohen brothers, with whom he has worked several times.

Bridges also thanked his brother, fellow actor Beau Bridges, and his wife of 45 years Susan Geston. He also gave a shout-out to his late father Lloyd Bridges and noted he was wearing his dad’s cufflinks. Actor Sam Elliott, who stars in A Star Is Born, narrated the video tribute to Bridges.

“If I’m lucky, I’ll be associated with the Dude for the rest of my life,” Bridges said. “I feel so honored to be a part of that film. Great movie.”

Bridges also praised and quoted a late famous American architect and designer named Buckminster Fuller.

“Bucky is most famous for the geodesic dome, but he made this great observation about ocean-going tankards. He noticed that the engineers were particularly challenged by how to turn this thing. You’ve got this big rudder, so it took too much energy to turn the ship,” said Bridges.

He continued: “So they came up with a brilliant idea: Let’s put a little rudder on the big rudder. The little rudder will turn the big rudder, the big rudder will turn the ship. That little rudder’s called a trim tab,” Bridges said. “Bucky made the analogy that the trim tab is an example of how the individual is connected to society, and how we affect society. I like to think of myself as a trim tab, and all of us are trim tabs. We may seem like we’re not up to the task, but we are, man! We’re alive! We can make a difference! We can turn this ship in the way we want to go, man! Towards love and creating a healthy planet for all of us. So I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for tagging me. I want to tag you all. You’re all trim tabs! Tag, you’re it!”
