Oh my god. I feel so incredibly overwhelmed I don’t think I can even say right now. As I was sitting there, watching the slideshow of previous best actress winners, I felt very in awe of the category I was nominated for. These were women I’d watched growing up, that I’d respected and admired throughout my career, and here I was, nominated for the same category as them. As I listened to Denzel read the list of names, my heart was pounding so tremendously and my hands were shaking... I couldn’t watch as he opened the envelope. I don’t think it even hit me as he read my name (and his joke about the nose didn’t sink in for awhile, I was so in shock!), but as my mum hugged me and kissed me, it kind of struck me then. I still can’t believe it. I muddled through my speech, I cried... oh, I can’t even believe it. My nerves are still going wild, but I couldn’t be more appreciative. It’s so incredible to me...
To all the other winners of tonight and all the nominees, I congratulate you so much. Everyone tonight has done amazing work, and sometimes I have to blink a couple times to remember I’m among them. It was a wonderful evening, and seeing everyone there was great. Wow. God, I am still in so much shock. *laughs* Forgive me for being ditzy and silly, but I feel so exhilarated! I need more hugs from Bella and my mum, and then I’ll be fine.
