WOW: Olivia Colman's Best Actress Speech
In one of the few surprises of the night, Olivia Colman snagged the award for Best Actress from front-runner Glenn Close for her role in The Favourite. In her charmingly flustered speech ("This is genuinely quite stressful"), she managed to give voice to every thought running through her head and still worked in a tribute to Close ("This is not how I wanted it to be"), her parents ("My mum and dad ... well, you know"), and yelp Lady Gaga's name in excitement.
