The “White Lotus” star first came out toward the top of the show to present the award for best performance by an actor in a supporting role in a TV series, before which she told a zany story about being approached to be a presenter at the show.
In one of the longest (but most amusing) preambles before handing out an award, Coolidge talked about her fears of tripping and tripping over her words while presenting, joking that someone suggested she wear Crocs and pay closer attention to the teleprompter.
Later, Coolidge came back out when she won the Globe for best performance by an actress in a supporting role in a limited series for her now iconic role of Tanya McQuoid in the HBO series. (HBO, like CNN, is part of the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)
In her equal parts emotional and hilarious acceptance speech, the “Legally Blonde” actress singled out “White Lotus” creator Mike White, who she said has “given [her] hope.”
