The Favourite’s Olivia Colman celebrated in true British style after her Oscars win on Sunday night – by hiring a party bus for an all night bender.
The down-to-earth actress, took five of her best pals on a ride around Los Angeles at midnight after taking home the coveted Best Actress award at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
She saw off stiff competition from The Wife star Glenn Close, 71, – the bookies’ favourite ahead of the event – despite snubbing A-list bashes in the lead up to it.
Mum-of-three Olivia broke down on stage as she accepted her gong, telling the audience: “It’s genuinely quite stressful. This is hilarious, I’ve got an Oscar.
“I have to thank lots of people and if I forget anybody I’ll find you later and give you a massive snog.
“My mum and my dad and my kids who are at home watching, well if you’re not then well done, but I sort of hope you are. This is not going to happen again.
“Any little girl who’s practising their speech on the telly – you never know! I used to work as a cleaner, I used to love that job.”
She also paid tribute to husband Ed Sinclair in the emotional speech and blew a raspberry while flicking the V sign to bosses when they to tried to hurry her up.
It was the only Oscar win of the night for the Yorgos Lanthimos film, also starring nominees Emma Stone, and Brit actress Rachel Weisz, which was up for a total of nine gongs.
We at the British Weekly are very proud of “our” Liv’s big win!
