Awkwafina Was 'Genuinely Shocked' to Win | Golden Globes 2020

'The Farewell' star chatted with ET's Kevin Frazier backstage at the Golden Globes, after making history as the first woman of Asian descent to win the award for Lead Actress in a Movie, Comedy or Musical.

She's so humble. I love her

[@djbronzed]

Aundria Napuli totally!

[@SLu-xu4ki]

I love her so so much. She's always so down to earth and talented. She really deserves this award.

[@rahulvinalnarayan9743]

I screamed in joy when they announced her name

[@anataliavallez]

I love this woman!! So freaking happy and proud.

[@Armygirl-xb6ev]

I’m so happy for her. She was brilliant in The Farewell, she deserved this.

[@alvaromano]

hopefully she will get an oscar nod!

[@TheSomeawesome]

i think renee still might get the oscar, but no doubt awkwafina will get a nod

[@justsef]

I'm happy for her she is such good good actress and exceptional movie

[@epulkyu]

I love her so much. She is legit funny

[@Maine_Course]

She my favorite actress for years now. She's very deep.

[@mazter3c]

Why is it that when I hear her speak she reminds me of Miley Cyrus? Am I the only one???

[@kennytesta9312]

Jorge Escudero Jr. it’s the teeth

[@juliankenzo]

I hear it too 😂

[@aliengranpa]

Her voice doesn't match her look..not a bad thing necessarily but it took me by surprise

[@mazter3c]

@@aliengranpa Exactly! 😂

[@curlsavenue1035]

It's the rasp and cadence in their voices that sound similar.

[@Cece2888.]

Love her acting and she is funny and seem cool. Good to see asian people win the award cuz u don't see that often. Also have people to support her especially her cast member from hustlers

[@arontamas5639]

The Oscars made a big mistake, snubbing her as Best actress in a leading role.... The Golden Globes made justice, hope in the future she'll get more and more recognition 'cause she deserves it!

[@NellieKAdaba]

👍🏾

[@bonappetit4273]

I watched Crazy rich Asian on the plane when I came back from San Francisco to Singapore. She was very hilarious and talented in the movie.

[@JaxxStarr81]

Queens NY girl like me, love her!

[@LordNightVillainDomTheBomb]

What a fantastic actress! Our new Flounder! ❤️

[@gericcelestino2865]

Um... she playing the Scuttle, not Flounder

[@keithkishishita5783]

Shoulda been nominated for the Academy Award, also.

[@evaneleven17]

I'm truly happy for her.

[@panic123kitkat4]

She's come so far since Girl Code x3 ❤

[@hotstuff400]

I can sense she's gonna surprise everyone in the Oscars.

[@calvinbowen3940]

I hope you're right!

[@jnid1758]

hope so too but I think it's almost a shoe in for renee

[@TheSomeawesome]

she might even surprise herself

[@maxipaz5597]

Didn’t even get nominated, sorry, rough call

[@jonadol]

I think Renee's going to win that

[@baekdutiger631]

Congrats for making HISTORY!!!!!

[@maxipaz5597]

Just watched Oscar nominations and poor Awkwafina didn’t even get nominated.....WTH? Yet Scarlet Johansen got two nominations?

[@lotto5742]

Because Scarlet Johansen is a better actress. Awkwafina is a great actress too but we shouldn't be giving awards based on ethnicity. If so, than we should just start making a category for every race.

[@lightning7665]

lotto it’s not about race. She’s the first Asian to win in a leading category for a movie. If a different race is winning why is there a problem. It was better that’s y. Awkwafina deserved a nom. Didn’t have to be win, but nom. Why do u think parasite won? Cuz it was better than all the other movies on the list. It’s not about race. That what u say when other races start winning

[@delsynvinward312]

Beautiful woman.

[@ernestseah975]

my HERO...LUV LUV

[@nuriyyecavadova5166]

What a voice 😯

[@szewei85]

Long live the new Asian queen🍿🍻😄😆

[@juantamad1662]

Congrats awkwafina!

[@datb0yavi123456]

Queens stand up !

[@jedilady4485]

Congratulations Awkwafina!! I actually like your rap songs even before this! haha

[@baekdutiger631]

Did you see Green Tea with Margaret Cho?

[@jnid1758]

love her

[@AV-wl4el]

Girl, change your name to Queen! Congratulations!

[@alobo2811]

I mean, from "My Vag" to this! Dream big, ya'll 🤗💞

[@ginnylin]

What a weird comment from Kevin..."It shows the Chinese market is growing..." Growing what?? Does he know how many movies and TV shows is pumped out by Chinese production houses and streaming platforms every year?

[@bobbelcher678]

He’s talking about how Hollywood is adapting to that market, the reason why they’re starting to cast more Asian Americans which is to lure the market over there to watch our films too and have a chance to compete with Chinese films.
