Oh-LIVIA!!!
Actress Olivia Colman accepted her OSCAR last night in truly wonderful fashion.
There were no political statements and there was no drama. There was only utter surprise and genuine gratitude. In other words, she was a class act and gave an acceptance speech that should set the bar for future acceptance speeches extremely high.
Colman's performance as Queen Anne in The Favourite has garnered her critical praise and several prestigious awards which include a BAFTA for Best Actress and last night's OSCAR for Best Actress (beating out heavily favorited-no pun intended-and my pick-Glenn Close)
By the way, in her speech, Colman addressed Glenn Close who was sitting right in front of her and said "You've been my idol for so long and this is not how I wanted it to be."
I don't Colman expected to win and was obviously floored by the announcement. What happened next, as she stood there holding her little golden man was true magic. She was gracious and emotional-not sappy-and funny and...I have to imagine...totally herself.

So congratulations, Olivia Colman and for your performance as Queen Anne and for your unforgettable acceptance speech, I say "Well done."
