Jennifer Lawrence won the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards Sunday, January 10.
Lawrence, 25, was nominated for her role in Joy alongside Melissa McCarthy for Spy, Amy Schumer for Trainwreck, Maggie Smith for The Lady in the Van and Lily Tomlin for Grandma.
Lawrence mainly thanked Joy director David O. Russell during her speech. The pair also worked together on 2012’s Silver Linings Playbook and 2013’s American Hustle.
“Every time I’m up here, it is because of you. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for your brilliance. Thank you for teaching me so much, professionally, personally,” Lawrence said on stage. “You make movies like you don’t even care if anyone ever sees them. And your heart — I mean that as a compliment. I just heard [laughing].”
She added: “It is such an honor to play this character. Thank you to our supporting cast. Thank you to my hometown, Kentucky and to my family, and thank you. Thank you. David, I love you. I want us to be buried next to each other. I really do.”
The 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards were held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, and the show was hosted for the fourth time by Ricky Gervais.
