Sense and Sensibility - Emma Thompson's golden globe speech

Emma Thompson received her Golden Globe award for the screenplay of Sense and Sensibility. She payed homage to Jane Austen by giving her acceptance speech as if it was a reflection on the evening by Jane herself.

[@cjripley32]

It's great because she won the award for adapting a screenplay and then proved with this speech how much she deserved it.

[@mrs_mothra547]

"And Miss Kate Winslet, beautiful in both countenance and spirit" 😭❤️

[@beatrixtarantino]

The most inteligent Golden Globe speech ever!

[@S2creatorr]

Thank goodness she won!! Otherwise, that amazing acceptance speech would've been left unheard.

[@hieronymusboschful]

She kills this, one of the best acceptance speeches ever. Plus - she looks hot.

[@moana3]

Yes but that damn hair falling over her face all the time!

[@Alice_Tiburcio]

This is THE best speech ever! Emma is so hilarious and smart!

[@helenmcfarland2997]

She’s absolutely amazing! 💞

[@bobosley4089]

She is a national treasure. Hope the Brits appreciate her!

[@dobazajr]

She's now a Dame.

[@Fcutdlady]

She's now Dame Emma Thompson so I think they do

[@sonarharin3906]

Oh, we do

[@marialewis6432]

The film was epic, one of my favorites still...and Emma, well, she is a treasure we are blessed with

[@schradeya]

I think a lot of people forget, or perhaps don't realize, that she was originally a comedienne. She started out with the illustrious likes of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie - who are also commonly recognized, at least in America, as more serious dramatic actors than comedians, but who also began their careers in something more akin to sketch comedy than Jane Austen, V for Vendetta, House, and that ilk - in comedy, in the Footlights at Cambridge. She is indeed very funny!

[@mercygrrl]

I remember coming across magazines with B&W photos of her uni days with the boys - before the internet. What I didn't know was that S&S was her very first attempt at a screenplay. To win both the Oscar & Golden Globe on a first try also speaks to her brilliance.

[@el7jake]

She is a national treasure. Hope the Brits appreciate her.

[@sexybeast9474]

"Mr ANG LEE of foreign extraction who seemed to understand me more than I understand myself!"

[@TheMonkiAss]

GOSH, she is just smart, lovable and beautiful!

[@nefariousbecks]

Best speech in history, gosh she's brilliant

[@allyssalambden7217]

Did you see her in Angels in America ❤

[@FreckleFaceBec]

"Mr Ang Lee, of foreign extraction"

[@glendaelizabeth2493]

A veritable mixture of beauty, wit and humour. Brilliant Emma

[@doryannedemille3961]

An even greater honor considering the excellent movies that were also nominated.

[@sandyg.3454]

This is one of my favorite movies! Emma is just brilliant! The cast is absolutely sublime!

[@Detomidine]

She is hilarious. Funny, talented and poised.

[@latebloomerabroad]

Best speech ever! When she won at the Academy Awards later, I wished she'd saved this speech for then, but I guess she couldn't risk it since she may not have won a second time.

[@Alice_Tiburcio]

I think she wouldn't have the time to do it at the Oscars. People barely have the time to thank their parents and the music cuts them off 😂 But you're right, it would have been EPIC!

[@ujookoh4381]

in love with every word of this speech! a brilliant mix of genius and wit. she is such a gem that Emily Tompkinson :)

[@eesehlamooskis]

Best speech ever. A classic!

[@aileenpippapower5447]

She’s so brilliant. Only seen this donkeys after the event. What a clever, funny and humble girl. You rick Emma!

[@MsSilkworms]

You have to be artsy and boldly creative to be such a good actor!

[@jasonhurd4379]

'Emily Tompkinson' lol

[@Adme55]

Simply one of the best speeches ever

[@raheldoege5520]

Thats ist! Thats why I love her!!!

[@helenmcfarland2997]

There have been so many films, tv appearances etc. in which Emma has appeared and I believe I may have seen them all -she is a gem! 💎

[@stardustfire]

That was amazing! Love her.

[@nancydavis4618]

I love Emma in all her movies

[@queenietheenie]

I adore Emma.

[@jan678]

HAHAHHA! The golden spheres!! I DIED!!!

[@cynthiacrumlish4683]

[@janangel1999]

She is the best, always!

[@Rogermarch]

[@valeriesmith5780]

Superb! Very creatively done.

[@LaDivinaLover]

Best "speech" ever

[@clmclachlan]

Really, she could be Austen reincarnated, her wit is so Austen-like.

[@sazzer1686]

Love her 🌟

[@AT-cy7im]

this one comment section I LOVE ! well done guys !

[@sushantharpal5854]

Best speech

[@elisavangilissen6257]

She is so hilarious and she absolutely deserved this. But I’m also lol when she tried to pull a strand of hair to one side. It just looked so funny to me. Lovely greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@Jamestopboy]

How to make an acceptance speech? See above. That is all.

[@user-jl7ym4en5b]

One he'll of a razor- funny, brilliant speech! Wow, I don't think half of them understood... Janet Seymour? pfft! BRAVO, EMMA T.'

[@yeliahkaren]

Jane Seymour is actually incredibly smart... I'm pretty sure she understood. But I agree that Emma Thompson is the absolute best. ❤️

[@lazymangood]

got to say she is good

[@user-zc2ht8vh9p]

That place looks nice and beautiful there like kings and queens

[@livetolearn2022]

The britishers definitely do their homework. Who would put so much effort in an acceptance speech?!!

[@cheryll3448]

Wonderful! I wish i could have a transcription of this :-)

[@cjsheu]

you can! click the three dots next to save, select "open transcript," and copy and paste

[@momcatwoo]

AWW YEAH

[@saramae2516]

I apparently wasn’t listening when they announced the category, and I thought “he wasn’t in ‘Mr. Holland’s Opus’ I see that movie poster in my home every day.” Then I thought “Why can’t I find that brilliant and touching movie? We can put a man on the moon, but I can’t see a wonderful movie”?

[@maryribeca3945]

[@user-zc2ht8vh9p]

Emma Thompson in her prime she could of did Titanic if it would of came out earlier

[@pdgf]

Nefarious creature! Lol ♡

[@dumbllama8495]

have she worked on Jane's Novel Emma as well? I wish she does someday.

[@bingovegas4867]

Emma, so talented and yet you leave the hotel KNOWING your hair is going to fall and cover half your face EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU MOVE YOUR HEAD? Always great, and brilliant in every roll you take on. Just do something with the hair honey.

[@adnap]

It seems the only thing not quite agreeing with Emma on this evening were her bangs.

[@telmaetlouise]

She didn’t mention Hugh ?

[@dvdgalutube]

She didn’t mention Hugh grant, her leading man of the movie. Guess they didn’t get on well at that time

[@reinebautistamercado4286]

She only mentioned Kate Winslet among her co-stars in that film.

[@sera2775]

Who is the cute award announcer next to the ghoul?😂

[@DiamondLil]

Anne Archer

[@olynneshine7014]

再看这段，要有时间空间的想象力，仿造100多年前的措辞和社会风貌是笑点，其中，制片人欠简奥斯汀钱的玩笑，仿佛也是中国张爱玲片在她过世后热拍的异曲同工。同样曾喜欢过张爱玲，年轻时却对她晚年孤寂的生活完全没有点滴了解。Eileen Chang,就是简奥斯汀投胎20世纪的中国，无异于时空的穿越。

[@musicfanBRA]

Nefarious creature! LOL
