We can remember it like it was yesterday.

Oscars night – or very early morning in the UK – and it’s time for the Best Actress category. The camera pans over the nominees: Lady Gaga, Glenn Close, Melissa McCarthy, Yalitza Aparicio and Olivia Colman. Gary Oldman is on the stage opening the envelope. The crowd waits and then – Olivia Colman wins!

The actor, a picture of shock and elation, was frozen in her seat when her name was announced. You’ve seen the video, right? Colman being kissed on both cheeks by her husband and her co-star from The Favourite Emma Stone, while the film’s director Yorgos Lanthimos knelt at her feet. Finally, she made her way to the stage to give one of the most memorable speeches in Oscar history.

Olivia Colman’s best memory about winning an Oscar is hilariously British
