Teyana Taylor Wins Golden Globe for Supporting Actress

Teyana Taylor won the Golden Globe for best supporting actress in a motion picture on Sunday night at the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. The singer, dancer and actress earned the honor for her portrayal of Perfidia Beverly Hills, a resilient activist in Paul Thomas Anderson's black comedy "One Battle After Another," marking her first nomination and victory at the ceremony.

Taylor, visibly overcome with emotion, burst into tears as presenters Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Garner announced her name as the first award of the evening. She made her way to the stage after a brief exchange with fellow nominee Julia Roberts, whom she had expressed a desire to meet. In her acceptance speech, Taylor addressed her daughters watching from upstairs in the hotel, urging them, "Y'all better be off them damn phones and watching me right now." She expressed gratitude to God, her parents, her collaborators and the cast, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Chase Infiniti and Regina Hall.

Taylor reserved special thanks for director Anderson, whom she affectionately called "Paul 'Let him cook' Thomas Anderson," crediting...
