Elizabeth Debicki researched so much into Princess Diana that she hoped to channel her ‘through osmosis’
Elizabeth Debicki did a “tremendous amount of research” preparing to play Princess Diana in “The Crown,” she told reporters after her first Golden Globes win.
Aside from watching a lot of footage, she also worked with a dialect and movement coach. The more time she spent researching Diana, she hoped, the more she might be able absorb her nuances through some sort of osmosis.
If she could relate to any part of the late princess’ life, Debicki said, it would be “a combination of the isolation and the emergence from it, the desire to recreate the self and to control the narrative of one’s life.”
“I’ve learned a lot from playing this part, the courage that takes and the kind of inherent beauty in that life path,” she added.

'Oppenheimer' wins best motion picture (drama)
Christopher Nolan's smash hit "Oppenheimer" has won the Golden Globe for best motion picture (drama), cementing it as the front-runner for best picture at the Oscars.
The movie really cleaned up tonight — the top prize, plus best director, best actor in a drama (Cillian Murphy), best supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.) and best original score (Ludwig Göransson).
Lily Gladstone was considering quitting acting before 'Killers'
It’s amazing to think that Gladstone was considering leaving acting altogether when Martin Scorsese came calling and offered her a key role in his adaptation of David Grann’s bestselling book.
She’s absolutely magnetic as the seemingly all-seeing Osage woman Mollie Kyle and the emotional heart of the film by a mile. I hope this win opens up tons of opportunities for Gladstone. (If you’re interested in her earlier film work, check out Kelly Reichardt’s “Certain Women.”)
Lily Gladstone makes history with win as best actress in a motion picture, drama
Lily Gladstone has made history as the first Indigenous winner in her category of best performance by a female actor in a motion picture.
Gladstone took home the award for her graceful portrayal of Mollie in “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
“I don’t have words. I just spoke a bit of Blackfeet language. A beautiful community that raised me,” an emotional Gladstone told the audience.
She continued: "This is a historic win. It doesn't belong to just me. I'm holding it for all my sisters. ... This is for every little rez kid."
While Gladstone’s performance was critically acclaimed, the film, a Martin Scorsese-directed crime drama that delves into the serial murder of members of Osage Nation known as the Reign of Terror, divided Indigenous audiences. Many critics felt the film did not successfully scrutinize the federal government’s oppression of Indigenous people. And others, including Devery Jacobs of “Reservation Dogs,” felt it normalized violence toward Indigenous communities.
Given the sensitive nature of the material, Gladstone encouraged community members to view the film “when and only if you feel ready.”
“The most pressing thing I’ve wanted to say about Killers of the Flower Moon, especially to Native Women & Youth: See it when and only if you feel ready, and see it with people you feel safe with,” Gladstone wrote on social media when the film opened in October. “You’ll likely have a lot of generational grief to process. You’re not alone.”
Shocked! The entire room is left stunned for Lily Gladstone after her win for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” With the audience looking at each other with mouths open!
Shut out tonight: 'Air,' 'American Fiction,' 'May December'
No wins tonight for three of the musical/comedy contenders: Ben Affleck's "Air," Cord Jefferson's "American Fiction" and Todd Haynes' "May December."
'Poor Things' wins best motion picture (comedy)
Yorgos Lanthimos' surrealist fable "Poor Things" just won the Globe for best motion picture (comedy), a slightly highbrow alternative to the movie I thought would claim this category: "Barbie."
This is the second award for "Poor Things" tonight. Emma Stone earlier won the best actress (comedy) prize for her lead role as Bella Baxter.
Paul Giamatti dedicates his win to teachers
Paul Giamatti took home the Golden Globe for best actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy for his leading role as curmudgeonly instructor Paul Hunham in “The Holdovers.”
"It's a movie about a teacher. I played a teacher, and my whole family, they're teachers. All going back generations. Teachers are good people," Giamatti said. "They do a good thing. It's a tough job. So this is for teachers."
‘Beef’ director says road rage incident that inspired the show was ‘anticlimactic’
After thanking the road rage driver who inspired “Beef” in his acceptance speech, director Lee Sung Jin told reporters that the moment was actually pretty “anticlimactic.”
“There was just one moment where I was like, eh, I’m gonna follow you,” he said, but it didn’t lead to anything — aside from a Golden Globe-winning TV miniseries.
