Jessie Buckley Thanks “400 Extras” on ‘Hamnet’ Set: “I Would Rave in That Globe for the Rest of My Life With You”
Buckley won best actress in a motion picture drama at the Golden Globes on Sunday.
During her acceptance speech for best actress in a motion picture drama at Sunday’s Golden Globes, Hamnet star Jessie Buckley took a moment to thank the “400 extras” from set.
“This is not a normal feeling or situation to be in, but thank you Golden Globes, thank you Focus [Features] and everybody who supported this film,” Buckley told the audience. “Chloe, Paul, Maggie, Max, Emily, Jacobi, Joe, the 400 extras, I adore you. I would rave in that globe for the rest of my life with you. It was such an extraordinary set to be part of because we were telling the story of probably the most famous Brit that ever lived, and we had a Chinese director, a lot of Irish and mostly Polish crew.”
She also honored her fellow nominees Julia Roberts (After the Hunt), Tessa Thompson (Hedda), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value), Eva Victor (Sorry, Baby) and Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love). “The incredible women I am honored to stand beside in this category. I mean, Julia Roberts, you are like a hero to us all. … You, Jennifer, Renata, Eva, Tessa… God, I’d watch you anytime, anywhere. You blow my mind.”
Hamnet went into the night with six nominations: Buckley’s win preceded _Hamnet’_s best picture drama win, the final trophy handed out that night.
