2019 Oscars: Olivia Colman Wins Best Actress, So Bow Down to the Queen
Yass Queen! Bow down before Olivia Colman.
The actress won the Oscars trophy for Best Actress for her performance as the eccentric, queer Queen Anne in "The Favourite."
It was somewhat of a surprise win over fellow frontrunner Glenn Close in "The Wife."
Colman, who will play Queen Elizabeth II in Season 3 of "The Crown," was hardly regal in her acceptance speech, and more adorably lovable.
She first thanked director Yorgos Lanthimos and her co-stars (and Supporting Actress nominees) Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone.
Colman also mentioned the woman who was considered the frontrunner for her award: "To be in this category with these extraordinary women, Glenn Close, you are my idol, this is not how it was meant to be."
This was Colman's first Oscar nomination and win. She has previously been nominated for television work in "Broadchurch" and "The Night Manager," and will undoubtedly clean up after time on "The Crown."
