Even if this is the end, you changed my life in a million different ways,” she said, referencing her character’s fate on the acclaimed anthology series. 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. Even if this is the end, because you did kill me off, but it doesn’t matter.

Read Jennifer Coolidge's Golden Globes Acceptance Speech (Vulture)

Jennifer Coolidge won a Golden Globe this year for her work as Tonya on 'White Lotus,' and gave a slightly unhinged acceptance speech. Read it here.

So anyway, I just want to say, Mike White, I love you to death. This is something all of you, if you don’t know Mike White, this is what you should know: He is worried about the world, he’s worried about people, he’s worried about friends of his that aren’t doing well, he’s always worried about people, you’re worried about animals, and he really is one of the greatest people I’ve ever … He gives me so much excitement to be — you make people want to live longer, and I didn’t. And I didn’t get to say what I really wanted to say at the Emmys, which is Mike White … I just — you know, it’s to you, Mike White. And then the Weiss brothers would keep me going because some of these would go like five different episodes, and five different sequels of American Pie. I just — truly, I just want you all to know that I had such big dreams and expectations as a younger person, but what happened is they get sort of fizzled by life and whatever. Then there were these people who would give me these cute little jobs and it would just be enough to get to the next one. But I just want to say, I hope my agent at UTA and Tiffany [Kuzon], you all forgive me because the hook came out at the last thing I got an award at, this giant hook, and I thought it left when vaudeville ended, and this hook came and took me off the stage at the Emmys. “Thank you, thank you so much, wow, and thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press. I just want to say, some of the people in this room, there were like five people that kept me going for, you know, 20 years with these little jobs. And now, she has recited an awards speech that is already part of the “audition monologue” canon.

Golden Globes: Jennifer Coolidge Wins for 'The White Lotus' (Variety)

Jennifer Coolidge won in the best supporting actress, beating out her co-star Aubrey Plaza, Claire Danes, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Niecy Nash-Betts.

“I was thinking, it’d be so fun to bring Tanya back because she’s such a great character, but maybe that’s the journey for her, a journey to death. “And then you get older and think, ‘Oh, what the fuck is going to happen? After convincing herself that a group of men had been planning to kill her so that her husband could take all of her money, she shot and killed them all on a yacht. Season 2 of the HBO original, which was among five shows (“Dahmer,” “The Crown,” “Pam & Tommy” and “Only Murders in the Building”) that scored four nominations at the 80th annual [Golden Globes](https://variety.com/t/golden-globes/), became a two-time winner on Tuesday night. Mike, I love you to death.” What I mean is I can’t hold it that long.”
