Sofia Vergara wasn’t afraid to (jokingly) express her disdain for losing a Golden Globe to Jodie Foster.
“No, no!” Vergara, 52, who was nominated for her role in Griselda, yelled, standing up and flailing her arms while Foster, 62, accepted the award for Best Performance by a Female Actor, Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television for her performance in True Detective: Night Country at the 82nd annual Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5.
“I know, I know,” Foster said in response to Vergara as she took the stage and began her acceptance speech for her fifth Golden Globe out of 10 total nominations in her career. She previously took home awards for The Accused (1989), The Silence of the Lambs (1992) and The Mauritanian (2021), and she was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2013.
“Give me one!” Vergara continued to protest, playfully interrupting Foster’s speech while laughing.

Foster confirmed there were no hard feelings between the two actresses when she gave Vergara a shout-out.
“The greatest thing about being this age and being this time is having a community of all these people, especially you, Sofia,” Foster said. “Our True Detective team, who I love so much, we’re really only here for one reason, and that is the wonderful, beautiful Issa López, our showrunner, writer [and] director. So grateful to you for your talent and your friendship.”
When the camera panned back to the Griselda actress, she was smiling.
Foster went on to thank the network, cast and crew of True Detective: Night Country, the fourth season of the anthology crime drama, which premiered in 2014, and she gave special thanks to “the Indigenous people who shared their stories with us,” noting “they changed my life and hopefully they’ll change yours.”

Foster and Vergara were also up against Cate Blanchett (Disclaimer), Cristin Milioti (The Penguin), Kate Winslet (The Regime) and Naomi Watts (Feud: Capote vs. the Swans) in this category.
The five-time Globe winner gave a shout-out to her wife, Alexandra Hedison, but her date at the event was her 23-year-old son, Kit, who looked on proudly during his mom’s speech.
“Kit, my scientist son, and Charlie, my actor son who is starting his career, hopefully, you understand the joy, such joy that comes from doing really hard, meaningful, good work,” she told her children from the stage. (Charlie, 26, was not present at the show.)
True Detective: Night Country was also nominated for Best Female Supporting Actor, Television and Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television, both of which the show lost to Baby Reindeer.
True Detective: Night Country is currently streaming on Hulu.
