God save our gracious Olivia Colman.

The actress, who will soon be appearing on Netflix as Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, was awarded for her portrayal of another famous British queen at this year’s Golden Globes. We are talking, of course, about her stint as Queen Anne in The Favourite.

So it makes perfect sense that, when stepping up to collect her gong for best actress in a musical or comedy, Colman decided to deliver the most quintessentially British speech of all time ever.

“Cor blimey, thank you so much,” she said, before adding a heartfelt “thank you for the sandwiches”.

Growing more serious as she contemplated her audience, Colman continued: “I’m not going to cry because my entire table will point and laugh at me as I’ve been crying all evening.”

“I would like to tell you how much this film meant to me but I can’t think of it because I’m too excited.”

She added: “I went on a private jet and I ate constantly through the film and it was brilliant and I promise I will keep on enjoying this, because it’s amazing.”

Turning her attention to director Yorgos Lanthimos and her co-stars, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, Coleman said: “Yorgos, thank you the most muchly and ma bitches, Emma and Rachel, thank you, every second of working with you was such a joy and I was so sad that it finished.”

Yes, she really did say “thank you the most muchly”. Yes, she really did refer to those decorated actresses as “ma bitches”. And yes, she really is the most delightful human being to ever grace the Golden Globes stage.
