On the day of the ceremony, in addition to "Chinese Light" Michelle Yeoh winning Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy for the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Angela Bassett, who played Queen Mother in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, became the first actor to win an acting award for a Marvel movie. Another exciting moment was when actress Jennifer Coolidge won Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series/TV Movie for her HBO drama White Lotus.
Speaking of Jennifer Coolidge, your name may seem a little unfamiliar. But if you mention Sophie Kaczyński, or "Sophie", a Polish businessman who shouts "Hello Everybody" every time she appears in the American drama "Bankrupt Sisters", you must feel much more familiar.
Yes, "Sophie" Jennifer Coolidge, who has worked on 5 seasons of "Sisters in Bankruptcy", won the Golden Globe with her magnificent performance in "White Lotus Resort". When she went on stage to deliver her acceptance speech, Jennifer did not change her humorous nature, and said that because she never exercised, she couldn't hold the trophy for too long, and directly put the golden trophy on the ground.
"There are about five people in this room who have been giving me small jobs for 20 years," she said. It's these little jobs that keep me going. She then thanked Mike White, the director, writer and producer who created the role of Tanya, the billionaire who owns half of San Francisco's fortune in White Lotus Resort. Jennifer says she had big dreams when she was younger, but the reality was a mess, and Mike White gave her hope. "Even though you made me die in the last episode, it doesn't matter, you still gave me a lot of hope. Now the neighbors are coming to talk to me, and everyone is inviting me to the party. "Between words, the characteristics of a comedian are brought to the fullest.

The role of Tanya in "White Lotus Resort" made Jennifer Coolidge win the award. A few months ago, for her brilliant performance in the first season, she won an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series. At the moment of the acceptance speech, before her long list of thanks was finished, the organizers gave up the jubilant end music, and Jennifer simply shook her body and danced, causing the audience to cheer.
Here's a fun little detail to share: After the Golden Globes announced the shortlist, Jennifer posted a photo of Tanya's slim body and posted it on Instagram with the text: "Pray for Tanya." "What a bit of humor.
As everyone knows, Jennifer Coolidge, born in 1961, is 61 years old this year. Before "White Lotus Resort", she did not play any particularly important roles. So, how did she come all the way? Let's take a look together.
On August 28, 1961, Virgo girl Jennifer Coolidge was born in a small town called Norwell outside Boston. His father was engaged in plastic manufacturing, and his mother was a housewife. She learned to play the clarinet at summer school and later received a college education at Emerson College in Boston and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.
At that time, Jennifer hoped to become a drama actress like her predecessor Meryl Streep, but she repeatedly auditioned for a wall. In the '80s, she rented a bed in a nursing home to give herself a place to sleep, and met actress Sandra Bullock while working in a restaurant. The latter became a hit in the 90s and was nominated for a Golden Globe for "Queen" in 1995. But Jennifer didn't receive her first official role until 1993, Jodi, the masseuse in the sitcom Seinfeld. That year, she was 32 years old.

Having a drama does not mean that the acting career is smooth sailing. Six years after her debut, Jennifer Coolidge finally met her first major role, the sexy mother in the movie American Pie.

The 2001 film "Legally Blonde" by Paulette is probably the most girly role of Jennifer's career. In the face of a crush boy but no courage to confess, the heroine taught her how to use body language to attract the attention of boys, but the "big funny woman" was full of loopholes.

Years later, Jennifer said in an interview that she may be "the only actress whose intelligence doesn't grow as she ages." After all, Hollywood didn't give her any roles that seemed smart.
But even these unintelligent characters were played by her and remembered. In 2018, popular singer Ariana Grande invited her to participate in the filming of the MV "Thank U, Next", restoring Jennifer's Y2K role in the millennium.
In her 20-year acting career, Jennifer Coolidge has not received too many roles that are enough for her to release energy, but she has also left her mark on every performance. Even if these characters are crazy and not so likable.
She is the designer of Sex and the City who designed a bunch of "ugly" bags after falling out of love.

In 2012, she met "Sophie" in "Bankrupt Sisters" and has been loved by the audience ever since. After all, all the terrible legends we can learn about from Poland come from the mouth of this big, exaggerated girl.

Looking back, Jennifer Coolidge said that she auditioned for 10 years without a single success, and was even rejected in person for belittling her appearance. "When you get used to being frustrated, you no longer fear failure." She summed up her gains from failure.
Fortunately, people who love acting don't get down all the time. Over the past 20 years, she has accumulated experience through one small role after another, relying on these small roles to welcome one new period after another, until she met "White Lotus Resort" and Tanya, who now make her stand at the highlight of her life.

Don't see Jennifer always dressed up in the play, but often appears in a black simple dress in life. At 1.78 meters tall, she was once too tall to match the scene, but she precipitated a different feminine aura in the growth of years.
Over the years, Jennifer has been passionate about charity and has been sponsoring AIDS patients all year round. At the same time, she is still known for her fondness of small animals, and is simply a model of perseverance on the outside and softness on the inside.
How, have you been infected by the story of "Sophie"? No matter what age, as long as you believe in yourself and have love, life will always reward you with sweet gifts. May every night we do when we calm down, as Jennifer Coolidge did at the award ceremony, say to ourselves: "Tonight is awesome!" ”
