The reason why we got emotional at the GoldenGlobes? Kate McKinnon's touching speech for Ellen DeGeneres. ❤️
In a perfect world—or maybe even this world—her speech, both personal and adulatory, funny and so, so touching, will melt many hearts and hopefully open more than a few minds.
"Carol Burnett has given us decades of laughter, tears, and a new sense of what's possible, so I would like to read a list of things that tonight's recipient Ellen DeGeneres has personally given me," McKinnon said."Some of these are spiritual and some of them are pieces of clothing I got to keep after doing impressions of her on her talk show," she quipped."A road map for a way to be funny that is grounded in an expression of joy.
She added, mock-casually,"I have to explain that one more. In 1997, when Ellen's sitcom was at the height of its popularity, I was in my mother's basement lifting weights in front of the mirror and thinking, Am IThat was met with hearty applause and an almost startled look from DeGeneres, whom it may not have occurred to that she might start crying before she took the stage."But that's a very scary thing to suddenly know about yourself," McKinnon continued.
"And if I hadn't seen her on TV, I would have thought, I could never be on TV, they don't let LGBTQ people on TV—and more than that, I would have gone on thinking that I was an alien and that I maybe didn't even have a right to be here. So thank you, Ellen, for giving me a shot. A shot at a good life. And thank you also for the sweater with the pictures of a baby goat on it."
