During the 82nd Annual Golden Globes Awards, Glenn Close’s acceptance speech generated unexpected controversy. While introducing the Best Motion Picture – Drama award, Close shared an anecdote about a letter she received from the late Katherine Hepburn, reflecting on the challenging yet rewarding nature of acting. Close quoted Hepburn’s description of the profession as “terrible,” “terrifying,” yet ultimately a “delicious way to spend your life.” However, Close’s enthusiasm led her to exclaim, “We are all so f—ing blessed and lucky,” a phrase that prompted CBS censors to mute the live broadcast. Uncensored video of the speech quickly surfaced online. Despite the blip in censorship, Close proceeded to present the award to the cast and director of “The Brutalist” without further incident. The incident highlights the unpredictable moments that can arise during live televised events.
