The Laurence Olivier Awards 2016: Imelda Staunton's acceptance speech

[@jonldn]

Now that's how to make an acceptance speech....pure class

[@larespo1]

She's just fantastic. So glad that she is finally recognized for all that she had done. Love her.

[@marisadellapasqua2756]

One of the most deserved victories ever. Immense Imelda.

[@JimMac23]

Imelda Staunton was brilliant in the production. Magnificent.

[@xpinkpixiedollx]

Such a lovely lady and you can see how proud her lovely husband Jim carter is in the audience she’s just phenomenal ☺️🤗❤️💕 xxxx

[@tiffsaver]

THERE IS A GOD. FINALLY... IMELDA GETS THE RECOGNITION SHE TRULY DESERVES.

[@coonalisa230]

What do you mean "finally" 😂 this was Imelda's 4th Olivier win.

[@tiffsaver]

@@coonalisa230 I live in the US. How would I know who won British awards?

[@evalynnchristiansen9430]

@@tiffsaver Google?

[@tiffsaver]

@@evalynnchristiansen9430 I'm an American and we have little interest in British awards, genius.

[@evalynnchristiansen9430]

@@tiffsaver I'm an American and almost everyone I know has great interest in British awards. They have real talent and are not just egotistical celebs. BTW, why did you post "There is a God....." if you weren't aware of British actors and Imelda especially?

[@crazyguy98456978]

I love how Tracie was like "I might have a chance" then 2 seconds later she said "Nope Imelda's gonna win"

[@thefabulousthomasj]

She is right: Stephen Sondheim is the Shakespeare of musical theater, and I daresay the closest to the Old Bard America will ever get. Loved Imelda in "Gypsy", catch it when you can on TV.

[@61brullemail]

How gorgeous does she look X

[@AnandMagic9]

What a class act. And ridiculously good actress.

[@regullerr203]

wow i never seen her win anything thats good she my favorite actress now yay

[@redbrian3655]

What a great appreciation speech, especially the lauding of Sondheim!

[@cecilefox9136]

She´s brilliant!

[@Samarastube]

Thank you for this!

[@TIODASFLORES_artes]

Sou muito fã da maravilhosa senhora Staunton, ela merece muito mais prêmios, essa fabulosíssima atriz, cantora e dubladora britânica é, na minha humilde opinião, uma das maiores atrizes do mundo na atualidade, Imelda Staunton é a mais célere dentre todas as atrizes desta geração e é referência em atuação!

[@peterlewis6324]

2021 will be her year;

[@ruwaanarora8230]

Imelda stauton looks pretty 😍 dashing.

[@FG-yp2vp]

Hope she gets an Oscar soon

[@JimMac23]

She was nominated a few years ago.

[@MultiVince95]

Great video

[@missladyhaha]

The way she walked up..lol ME!

[@alexj9418]

Dolores

[@JimMac23]

One role of many that she has performed.

[@paulamiles9559]

Imelda staunton is Sondheim"s muse in Great Britain!

[@kaneitalienisch3484]

1:58 IS THAT NARCISSA MALFOY? She certainly looks like her. (I know that Helen McCrory looks differently, that's why I wrote Narcissa Malfoy)

[@seamus1956]

TaeWasSpilled It’s Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge, Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor at Hogwarts and Senior Undersecretary at the Ministry for Magic.

[@crysm3]

seamus1956 when I first saw Gypsy with her in it, I couldn’t separate the two. I was so disgusted when I watched it the first time, but when Roses Turn came on I completely forgot about Professor Umbridge lol

[@SymphonyBrahms]

@@seamus1956 And she hates children!

[@patrickclohessy8339]

Please upload her Bafta win in 2005 for Vera Drake

[@fozziebumble8361]

There has always been diverse rolls for women

[@ThatHollyPerson]

What was going on with tracie 😂😂

[@railtransportvlogsnsw7775]

Did all the musicians know it was her since they had the overture ready

[@SymphonyBrahms]

They have all of the overtures from all five shows ready.

[@alexandrabelli4139]

The voice that it zoe wanamaker??

[@aledonn591]

Sophie Thompson had some work done 🤣🤣

[@kennethdesmondmosley1075]

Nothing for Jule Styne. Or Arthur Laurents. Wow

[@paulamiles9559]

Miss Staunton also created on the British stage the roles of the Baker's Wife in " Into the Woods" and Mrs Lovett in " Sweeny Todd", so she is particularly attached to her work with Sondheim.

[@amyclarke41]

ok
