Golden Globes 2026: Jessie Buckley Clarifies Comments About Drinking Paul Mescal "Like Water"

He continued, “We can celebrate the film for the next couple of weeks—fingers crossed we’ll be celebrating her—but the big celebration is in 10, 15, 20 years’ time, we’re gonna be watching what she did forever. And I got to watch it firsthand.”

Jessie has now won Best Female Actor at the Critics Choice and Golden Globes, with Hamnet also earning Best Picture - Drama at the latter.

During her acceptance speech, director Chloe Zhao—who producer Steven Spielberg described as the “one filmmaker on the face of the planet who could tell this story” in his introduction—reflected on what Paul had said to her ahead of the ceremony. 

"Making Hamnet made him realize that the most important thing of being an artist is learning to be vulnerable enough to allow ourselves to be seen for who we are and not who we ought to be,” she said. “And to give ourselves fully to the world.”

Chloe—who was also nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay—continued, “Even the parts of ourselves that we're ashamed of, that we're afraid of, that are imperfect, so the people that we speak to, they can also see themselves and fully accept themselves."
