Jennifer Coolidge has given another iconic speech after winning at the Critics’ Choice Awards.

The actress has bagged another major award for her role as Tanya McQuoid in The White Lotus. This comes just days after her speech at The Golden Globes went viral and brought creator Mike White to tears.

On Sunday evening (15th January), Coolidge beat the likes of Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon), Carol Burnett (Better Call Saul), Julia Garner (Ozark), Audra McDonald (The Good Fight) and Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul), for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the 2023 Critics’ Choice Awards.

When on stage to collect her award, the actress gave another incredible speech that was both funny and inspiring.

She said: “No, I just want to thank you. I know you've heard a lot from me in the last month or two, but I just want to say this is such an honor. This is really kind of as good as it gets, the critics. Not from just the east and the west coast on the east coast but all over the country.

Coolidge continued: “I just want to say thank you. I want to say to all the people out there. For all the people have sort of given up hope, I hope this gives you inspiration.

“It's not over till it's over. It's not over till you're dead. So please, thank you. Thank you so much.”

Last week Coolidge won best supporting actress the Golden Globes, beating Claire Danes (Fleishman Is in Trouble), Daisy Edgar-Jones (Under the Banner of Heaven),Niecy Nash (Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story) and her White Lotus co-star Aubrey Plaza.

Her speech when accepting the award went viral after she thanked the likes of Ryan Murphy for keeping her going with “little jobs” over the years and brought Mike White to tears after praising him for giving her a shot in The White Lotus.
