Colin Farrell accepts the Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy award for “The Banshees of Inisherin” from Ana de Armas onstage at the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 10, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California.

Colin Farrellmay have won the award for best actor in a musical or comedy at the 2023Golden Globes, but he started his speech with a rave about presenterAna de Armas.

“I just thought you were extraordinary,” Farrell told Armas — who was nominated for best actress in a motion picture drama for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe inBlonde— before accepting his award.

“I cried myself to sleep the night I saw your film,Blonde. I cried myself to sleep. One thing had to do with the music that played at the moment where the shot opens and just seeing her ankles at the edge of the bed. It messed me up so bad,” he said, to laughs around the room, before teasingly telling the audience: “Not a joke, but you’re welcome to laugh. It’s not my place to say what’s appropriate laughter in this world.”
