The press room at the Golden Globes can be a bit overwhelming. TVs blast the ceremony for a crowd of a few hundred reporters, organizers and crew members, but only until the winners we just saw claim their prize walk into the room. Then you can choose to keep listening to the ceremony, via a dual-station headset, or take fervent notes from your dining table chair positioned just close enough to others to make you feel a bit trapped.
Yet when the winners walk in, all the noise and energy becomes an electric force running through the room, picking up as the giddy victors joke and laugh as they bask in the glow of an amazing night. It’s hard to hold onto any cynicism when they’re having so much fun. The following are the quotes that best exemplify that joy, enthusiasm and overall experience of speaking to someone after their dream just came true. Or, if you’d rather, the funniest things your favorite celebrities said backstage.
– Kevin Spacey, during his acceptance speech. It was censored from the telecast.
– Jill Soloway, remembering when her trans parent came out to her.
– Billy Bob Thornton, after being asked how he’ll celebrate his win.
Maggie Gyllenhaal, when asked about Israeli/Palestinian relations for her first question.
– Kevin Spacey, on winning his first trophy after eight nominations.
