‘Thank you, and thank you to everybody, all the Barbies and Kens in front of and behind the screen.
‘It was the greatest most joyful show of craftsmanship and passion I’ve ever seen.
‘And on behalf of Tom and David and Robbie and I, we want to thank the brave individuals at Warner and Mattel for taking an extraordinary risk in literally inventing numbers to justify green lighting this, and then standing by at every step of the way.
‘Thank you to Noah Baumbach for showing his inner Barbie girl. Thank you to Ryan Gosling for going full beach. And America Ferrera for showing her soul.
Margot concluded her speech by thanking the award show for creating the new category which recognizes a film with ‘a box office receipt total/gross of $150 million, of which $100 million must come from the U.S. domestic box office, and/or obtain commensurate digital streaming viewership recognized by trusted industry sources’ according to the Golden Globes.
‘Last but not least, thank you so much to the Golden Globes for creating an award that celebrates movie fans.
‘This is a movie about Barbie, but it’s also a movie about humans. We made it — it’s about you. We made it for you, and we made it with love. Thank you for loving it back.
