"I just want to say Mike White, you gave me hope, even though this is the end because you did kill me off, but it doesn't matter because you really changed my life in a million different ways — my neighbors aren't being mean to me, things like that — and none of those people, I was never invited to one party on my hill and now everyone's inviting me!"

"The White Lotus" star Jennifer Coolidge had a colossal night at the 80th Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday, picking up an award and giving glorious speeches.
