[@MM-dq2pi]

That's Numberwang! Reference for those out of the loop: one of her earliest roles and collaborations on a hilarious sketch show, Mitchell and Webb: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqDFfoWwqdCfp7c

[@CJ-hg9cs]

Just lovely isn't she..I remember her in The Green Wing as the mother trying to juggle work and kids and driving off with her bag on the roof of the car in one scene. She's just so good at the funny and absurd, she's wonderful and so genuine. Love her to bits.

[@davidc2570a]

She's the real deal. No one expected her to win so I believe her when she says her speech was unprepared. She is genuinely humble and hilarious. She deserved it.

[@zonzz]

I think many (myself included) expected her to win, she was bloody amazing in the role. But surely she didn't expect it herself, love that. Even said in her speech "this won't happen again", lol

[@koushikisaha5197]

Don't say nobody, I know people were betting on Glenn Close, she was phenomenal, but Olivia Colman was spectacular. She shined in every frame, and her elastic face which is so skilled at changing emotions in a heartbeat, I know many like me might have pinned for her from the beginning.

[@benzaiten933]

she did win the GG and BAFTA for best actress so I think it's going too far to say nobody expected it. it's just Olivia herself is such a humble person so it came as a surprise to her.

[@painteasy]

literally everyone was expecting her to win, what are you talking about?

[@ItsBritneyBitch1]

Most great comedy come from improv and such a real and hilarious speech just couldn't be scripted. I could feel that she was just saying things in the moment, love her! ❤

Watch Peep Show! British comedy at its sardonic, miserable best.

[@calebmatthews2026]

She's fucking delightful. Adelle is very similar. It's funny how we as Americans don't realize how seriously we take ourselves. The rest of the world has such a different perspective on what's important and worthy or praise. It's refreshing to say the least.

[@1funkyflyguy]

You could do a lot worse then start with Peep Show, a Brit channel 4 sitcom which ran for 9 years, she plays a somewhat pitiful, un-likable, needy, looney, love interest to the main character with hilarity throughout in no small part to Oliva's contribution.

[@olivermcerlean8386]

'Flowers' (TV series, 2 seasons) '2012' (BBC - comedy about preparations for the London Olympics - tiny role but unforgettable) 'Tyrannosaur' (independent film)

[@ssh1487]

Hot Fuzz - small role but very funny, and hilarious film The Night Manager - brilliant miniseries in which she plays a main (but not central) character who is a pregnant detective Confetti - not the best of her filmography but I found it funny (when I watched it when I was like 14) and she plays a naturist 😂 I've seen her in more stuff other than these three and three of those previously mentioned but can't remember rn, imdb is your friend though 🙂

[@oDiium1]

She is the best thing that happened in oscars in years!!

[@RoulinBrooks]

Agreed. I never watch because of the phoney balonies like Julia Roberts. Olivia Colman is the real deal. I've seen her in loads of things and think she's wonderful. Her acceptance speech and her demeanor at this press forum show just what a genuine, lovely person she is.

[@lynnhamps7183]

Folk who are used to the oft times 'self-congratulatory brashness' of American stars don't seem to realise that Olivia, although particularly lovely and talented, is really just being British..we are generally a humble lot who just can't take ourselves and events like this seriously, hence the success of Ricky Gervais' presenting style etc...look up actresses like Belinda Blethyn, Joanna Lumley, Miriam Margolyes and of course the delightful Emma Thompson, also music stars such as Adele and Paloma Faith for more evidence of how we just 'are'...fabulous win for her of course, so well deserved.
