Rose Byrne Clinches First Golden Globes Lead Actress Award for Musical/Comedy Role
Rose Byrne won her first Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for portraying a mother on the brink in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. She appeared genuinely surprised on stage, joked about not preparing a song, and thanked writer-director Mary Bronstein. Byrne noted the film was a tiny production—shot in 25 days for about $8.50—and explained she brought her brother as a date because her husband Bobby Cannavale couldn’t attend, having gone to a reptile expo (bearded dragon) in New Jersey.
