At the prestigious 2024 Golden Globe Awards, the competition for Best Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television was fierce, featuring a lineup of exceptionally talented actresses. However, it was Ali Wong’s night to shine, as she emerged victorious for her role in ‘Beef,’ marking her first Golden Globe win.
Wong, known for her dynamic performances, surpassed fellow nominees Brie Larson (‘Lessons in Chemistry’), Elizabeth Olsen (‘Love & Death’), Juno Temple (‘Fargo’), Rachel Weisz (‘Dead Ringers’), and Riley Keough (‘Daisy Jones & The Six’). This win not only celebrates Wong’s remarkable talent but also solidifies her status as a versatile actress capable of delivering powerful performances across genres.
Before ascending the stage, Wong shared an affectionate moment with her boyfriend, Bill Hader. This public display of affection came after the confirmation of their rekindled romance in April 2023, following Wong’s separation from her husband, Justin Hakuta.
In her heartfelt acceptance speech, Wong expressed deep gratitude to the creators and cast of ‘Beef,’ particularly highlighting the friendships she forged during the production. She also extended a special thanks to her former spouse, Justin Hakuta, acknowledging his support and attributing her success as a working mother to his love and encouragement.
In ‘Beef,’ Wong masterfully portrays Amy Lau, an entrepreneur balancing her professional success with personal challenges. The series, which deftly navigates the realms of drama and comedy, showcases Wong’s ability to bring complex characters to life with authenticity and depth.
Wong’s win at the Golden Globes not only honors her standout performance in ‘Beef’ but also celebrates her evolving career, which has included acclaimed Netflix standup specials and her recent success in the acting domain.
