Jodie Foster - Golden Globe Awards 2013

[@patrickstevenson9775]

The very reason these words exist: Class, beauty, kindness, integrity and talent! What a remarkable lady!

[@jakeswing]

and privacy 🙏

[@HiddenWen]

You can tell that wasn't an easy speech to do. She has a lot of courage and is someone to look up to!

[@HiddenWen]

@Patricia A. Badea She's revealing something very private to the public. She's known to be a very private person.

[@MarCapa-ed5uv]

Definitely, someone to look up to.

[@markdaly1648]

She was criticised by people in the gay community who wondered why she waited so long too come out ​@MarCapa-ed5uv

[@xanaduflipper]

Everyone only remembers this speech for her 'coming out' but what really stands out is her thank you to her Mum. So, so sad and sweet xx

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Coming out was a highlight coz that's something no one did before at a major Hollywood film award but I think people appreciate everything about it

[@missdee4927]

@@siddharthnaagar7028 She was criticized for this speech if anything, pretty badly too.

[@johntheX]

That's what I remember too and the part about her future.

[@PandaPowerable]

That woman has so much class and that isn't seen so much anymore.

[@hebince44]

+Malorey I didn't know *anything* about her until I saw the movie 'contact' that baffled me and left me utterly speechless.

[@antonio39776]

Just tell me that you saw ''the silence of the lambs''

[@lambyiii]

50!? she looks like she's 30 here! she's gorgeous, smart, and talented. I hope i look this good when i'm 50.

[@katherinebooth1708]

so true

[@milaniatrance515]

Smart, talented, beautiful and don't forget that she speaks frensh fluently🤗😘😘from Algeria.

[@theahmadhack4982]

@Patricia A. Badea lmao she didnt its just tons of makeup , not every beautiful women must do plastic surgeries

[@JayJay-wg5ex]

I think Botox is pretty standard

[@stephei1082]

​@@JayJay-wg5ex I think you're pretty obnoxious, but we all have faulty and ignorant opinions sometimes... You just chose to publicize yours.

[@tangled55]

She is the manifestation of grace. You don't see that much anymore.

[@horaciocapanelli-soto4710]

The woman is super intelligent

[@nfcoard]

It moved me when she expressed love for her mom. If only all persons could love every other person that way. This world would be heaven on earth.

[@bananana42]

I only have 3 words to say: Best speech ever.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

When you are so smart and eloquent that you make a crowd of drunk people listen you for straight 7 mins, then you are the GOAT

[@MarCapa-ed5uv]

Never saw it that way 😂, so true. She’s a great talent, but it is definitely her dignified persona whom I really admire.

[@shihlin1]

She touches and hits so many bullseye's in this speech. There's something old school about her and that's what makes her classy. Yes, Jodie, no reality show or press conference from you a la Kardashians and luv ya all the more for it. No ever badmouthing from her either about fellow actors or directors, and she's seen EVERYTHING in Hollywood to write a book ! She keeps it real, low key and good humored, and that's prob how she is when the cameras aren't rolling. So many great movies and iconic performances. She lets her work speak for a life that's fully lived and realized. Finally lost it when she gives that moving tribute to her mom at the end. Bravo ! Miss ya, Jodie !

[@godnlenora]

Jodie foster rules.

[@LiberianStreetwalker]

+Rashanda Grier Absolutely.

[@SamantherPanther]

Ayy yeah, she's my friend's great aunt! I have not met her, but yeah she's a good actor

[@godnlenora]

Alright.

[@gusalthorp6138]

+Sam Jacobs She's a truly remarkable actress

[@PizzaRiia]

Not too late for Jodie to be a president!

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Sadly she isn't political

[@marias7599]

Riia Luhtanen No, she is too good to be president

[@tovarasulsecretargeneral2822]

fuck off

[@garyschumacher6531]

l'd vote for her in an NY second. l have my doubts that is where her future lies though.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Her tribute to her mom is just the most beautiful, poignant and brilliant thing ever 👌👌

[@samsong24]

I cried back then. I cried again.

[@minesg9511]

Not many speeches go down like this. This was real. Everyone is always talking bout authenticity. Well ya just saw it folks. when I grow up, I want to be Jodie Foster. Impossible. she's one of a kind.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

This is literally the best personal speech of all-time

[@amocanabumm]

This is the best speech I've ever heard...

[@randolphouimet4130]

This is the greatest award speech of all time. Jodie Foster not only one of film history famous actress but authentic person, rare in Hollywood.

[@Samalamalamdam]

SO unbelievably attractive.

[@tomk1of1]

I see 45 thumbs down..none of my business..but how do you give a thumbs down after listening to that brilliance and courage,the elegance and honesty,the fire and sizzle and all done in an arena of humility,self love and gratitude...how that wasn't inspiring to everyone is baffling.. That's the Internet? We all get our opinion. And I love and respect Jodi Foster!!!

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rkm711]

Pure class.

[@aaolash]

Brønanny you're cute!!!!

[@taikoking1]

She is a one tough cookie, a very smart one as well.

[@mmsachi170]

she is a beautiful human being,and I adore her

[@niloh96]

Amazing speech by a brilliant talent and person.

[@kosmoboi]

BEST SPEECH EVER!! class...poise...well spoken...humble...and humorous..amazing.

[@scottreading6544]

One of the most amazing speeches. Elegance. Intelligence. Brilliance. Jodie Foster, May you reign for many years to come.

[@opie1956]

One of the best speeches I have ever heard, how heartfelt. Bless you Jodie Foster.

[@kusumnagar9449]

Jodie is a unique one, one of a kind, a league of her own

[@weezj442]

one of the greatest speeches to ever exist she is a legend

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Genius is literally an understatement for Jodie

[@bhappyatlovin7636]

Waooo Jodie Foster let me take my hat off for you and pay you my deepest heartfelt respect. You are so unique and courageuse. I know nobody else that is so courageous to come out with its heart crying specially in front this oh so perfect hollywood crowd. You really make a difference. Thank you for being so true. U r truly a shining 🌟. ❤️💖

[@geralddyng]

She is one of the greats in a short period of time. 47 Years, and still young. WOW

[@mareychellelopez1253]

One of the most beautiful speeches ever

[@AlexDeLarge77]

Jodie is a loyal woman. I respect that she stood by Mel Gibson.

[@MarCapa-ed5uv]

That’s what friends are supposed to do. Unfortunately, not everyone remembers that

[@urbluefemme]

She is smart, elegant, and touching. What a speech.

[@tofjip]

She looks really young, blooming and blithesome for her age...

[@drrajunagar8612]

Jodie always stands apart, her legacy is unmatchable

[@laminage]

So Many Child Stars could learn from her. I knew she was Gay when I was a Teenager, yet she had this maturity that set her apart from her peers.

[@ACETYGRA]

laminage Agreed even when she was only about 16 she came across like world weary 40 year old.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

People forget she is a former child prodigy

[@ccbaby2897]

Great speech from one of my favourite actress ever!

[@jeanettesmith765]

This was so moving. I was in tears. I so love and respect this fabulous actress who continues to live her life on her own terms.

[@DianaDagoMc]

Normal is not something to aspire to, it is something to get away from - Jodie Foster - just brilliant as she is!

[@MarCapa-ed5uv]

Thank you for saying this.

[@kusumnagar9449]

Her tribute to her mother is everything

[@shakespeareinlove82]

Class and Grace! One aspect that resonated the most with me..........."Privacy". Gotta respect that!

[@louieshere]

I love her so much... she's the best.

[@louieshere]

BRAD PITT There's an Inside man 2?

[@HeartBr8KIDx]

Kristen Stewart reminds me so much of Jodie. Their mannerism are exactly the same, and the montage made me realize how alike they are. I hope she gets to have an incredible career, just like her.

[@kayliahferrero]

No way is Kristen Stewart like Jodie Foster.Her acting is wooden stiff and she doesn't have the emotional range of Jodie.besides Jodie is smart,funny and sensitive while kristen is clumsy,awkward and lack self confidence.

[@SpicyMarcoBB]

Jodie Foster may be awkward in public and quirky just like Kristen Stewart, but when it comes to talent, there's no comparison, Kristen Stewars has none.

[@reptongeek]

Kristen Stewart does have talent outside of the Twilight movies. The reason I know this is because she was in Panic Room. David Fincher would never have cast her in that film if she couldn't play that role

[@kayliahferrero]

yeah it wasn't a complex performance it was a teenager playing a diabetic teenager and wow that was sooo complicated to do lmfao

[@reptongeek]

David Fincher though does do a lot of takes and there is a lot of performance variation in those takes, so I don't think he would hire an actor/actress who wasn't able to give him a wide range

[@BRUMHILDA08]

Judie Foster.. A so amazing & intelligent woman.. A so great actress.. So honest & touching speech... But surprise.. She's not "single" anymore.. Jodie marries Alexandra Hedison in secret wedding.. Now she's a married woman.. Another secret bash!.. Well.. I think that Judie deserves to live her life as she chooses, and to be happy. My respect and admiration goes to those who are true to themselves, their integrity is inspirational.

[@silentdancer981]

Absolutely love this woman! 100% class act, awesome actress, great director, and knows how to give a proper speech! Been a fan since I was a kid and will continue to think of her as an inspiration! Best of luck to her in whatever she decides to do, she is truly an amazing woman!

[@StillWatersRunDeep101]

One of the most moving speeches I've her heard. Respect to Jodi Foster.

[@samsong24]

I know I must have commented on this video before but wow! What a speech. The bit where she addresses her mother is so emotional and she words that part like a poet. Kudos, Jodie Foster!

[@sx20Ramar]

Great actress, great woman. I loved every picture she was in.

[@cluggyahoo]

Total class act

[@quidproquo82]

A very intelligent, complex human being.

[@shineelove15]

Hands down to the best of the best

[@WillerRemyMa]

She's absolutely lovely

[@MarcianoParoyM16]

Jodie foster was here, im still here... To be not so lonely... Thank u 4d company... Wow!

[@patriciaj1291]

Jodie, you are a beautiful soul, a beautiful woman and a wonderful talent. I am so happy you are on this planet. Hugs from Toronto Canada !

[@screenactorsguilable]

I have given everything since i was 3 years old. That's reality show, don't you think ?

[@jeanettesmith765]

Quan Dang What a brilliant statement by one of the world's most brilliant actresses!

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

That statement has a lot of leverage

[@ChandrabhanSingh-mz4hc]

One of the most beautiful things about this speech apart from everything was that she thanked and mentioned every individual who was present their to support her from Mel Gibson to even Robert Downey Jr's wife as well

[@delrey874]

I love Jodie❤️

[@kbrightheart]

Absolutely amazing. Amazing.

[@MikeysGayToday]

Greatest speech of all time. Next to Merritt Wevers.

[@stephaniestanley8041]

The beauty, the integrity❤

[@skapunkteddybear]

Goddamn, she's the greatest.

[@atltallone907]

Her oldest son is so cute lol

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

what an exceptionally brilliant speech

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

The obtuse metaphors in this speech are incredible, you can say she's such a genius

[@louieshere]

whoa.. That was emotional.. I love her so much. Great lady!

[@ammyt2082]

This is THE BEST AWARD ACCEPTANCE SPEECH I've heard in my entire life.

[@eokajima8656]

I browsed cuz I m missing you Jodie I love u so much . !! I hope your re always healthy and safe . I want to see you movies again .')

[@aaronwilkins3511]

amazing . I have loved her since I was a kid who watched silence of the lambs way to young with my dad. That film stayed with me all the years after when I did a university thesis on it 5 years ago and I still hold it up as my holy grail of monster movies. what an incredible actress and person she is. I really hope she becomes a regular awards heavyweight again and gets some graceful roles befitting such a queen of the screen

[@Flyingchicken-ye9mr]

She is very committed and with a lot of confidence and VERY intelligent!!! I love her since I saw her in her first movies, for me is "Schweigen der Lämmer/The silence of the Lambs" one of the best movies ever. She is a rolemodel in this time of social media. Since now no Insta or facebook - only fanpages. She looks for her privat life and this is absolutly right!

[@EdEditz]

Wow, she sure knows how to speak in public. :) (duuuhh. I know) Awesome woman!

[@Akadius1776]

Well she only has been doing it for 48 years. lol

[@EdEditz]

Akadius1776 Yeah would be bad if she hadn't mastered it by now :p

[@rr7firefly]

A person would have to be a dense block of wood not to be affected by Jodie's speech. She stands apart as a sane and gracious island in a roiling sea of ego craziness typical of Hollywood. I have met some of those nitwits so I know how Jodie is really special. Much love and admiration.

[@EdEditz]

Noe Berengena Truer words were never spoken.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

She's not a bimbo Hollywood actor she graduated high school as a valedictorian , went to Yale and graduated as a topper and assumedly has an IQ of 120

[@milisima]

I love her. This touches me everytime. This classy lady made the perfect speech and it was all about love.

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

I thought that it was impossible to be THAT cocky (which is a Jodie Foster we'd never seen before) AND ALSO graceful at the same time. I was wrong.

[@millers3888]

10:53 What a beautiful tribute to her mother, I got all misty eyed

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

There are some speeches which became an instant classic, this is one of those speeches

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

There's Hollywood and then there's Jodie Foster, what a woman 💪👌

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

She makes 50 look 30! Yet you can tell she’s aged naturally and beautifully, and you can tell she takes care of herself, protects her skin, eats right and works out. She looks healthy and fit, radiant and absolutely stunning. As a gay woman, who came out later in life, not only do I respect her tremendously and felt immense joy and pride when she did this, I also intimately and personally know the courage it took her to do this. And her thanks to her Mom was so heartfelt, bittersweet (does her mom have dementia?? To me Jodie’s speech seemed to allude to as much) and meaningful, it moved me to tears. Besides being an incredible actress, one of the very best of her generation, Jodie Foster is strength, class, intelligence, humility, and genuineness personified. Focusing heavily on the coming out aspect of her speech, many seem to skip over the fact that this speech also contains her announcement to semi retire from stage and screen. Which is a bit sad considering her enormous talent on screen and behind the camera; yet I cannot wait to see what she does next. I’m thinking either teaching acting as an honorary professor at her alma mater or writing novels. She’s incredibly intelligent with a genius level IQ and MENSA membership, learned to read and was memorizing lines at 3 years of age, was valedictorian of her senior class, is an Ivy League, magna cum laude graduate of Yale University which also awarded her an honorary doctorate, and is fluent in four languages. I’d wager her success at anything she puts her mind too. 👍

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Jodie Foster has proven time and time why she is and will always be a league of her own 💪💪💪🙌🙌

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

At times it must be pressurising for Jodie herself to be one of a kind

[@jasonelias8882]

Hands down the best speech ever at an awards ceremony

[@joni19855]

I love her! She is one of the best actresses ever alongside with Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore and Meryl Streep.

[@iana1083]

what a speech

[@MsDeonder]

Amazing intelligent woman

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

LEGENDARY

[@dessymarliani]

What a very good speech! big fan of her!

Man, have seen this speech so many times, but not once i wasnt moved by it ♥️

[@grahamscott1547]

That was absolutely beautifully said! 10yrs on, I’m glad to see you back on our screens… phewwww!

[@katherinebooth1708]

and Home for the holidays is my favorite holiday movie

[@bigpoppy0617]

I am a fan of Jodie foster. I wouldn't say a raging fan but that was one of the greatest speeches ever. She said so much, never stumbled on her words, wasn't reading from a script although she obviously worked on it. Her intelligence never stopped shining through

[@mpdalyful1]

I love the way she brought the curtain down on her film career. with, class and elegance what a way to say I'm retiring.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

She didn't ment she's retiring she said that she will now be pursuing something different, directing

[@jesperjee]

Great speech!!

[@rachieface103]

great speech, so beautiful without being cheesy. brought a tear to my eye. love her!!

[@potatochalbro]

What a beautiful speech

[@MiniNoahTheWorm]

Silence of the lambs and 5 or so videos have been enough to convince me that Jodie Foster is one of the best people we have, I had the same expression as Mel 10:11 throughout that entire speech

[@dmitreeey]

one of the most talented actresses of all time

[@salisadalfa8783]

I wanna have her confidence it's so amazing wow just wow

[@paparazzi929]

I wish I had that grace.
