1996: Emma Thompson Channels Jane Austen
In 1996, Emma Thompson gave one of the most memorable acceptance speeches in the history of the Golden Globes — but it was not for one of her legendary acting performances. Yes, the ten-time Golden Globe nominee, who won a Best Actress – Drama statuette in 1993 for Howards End, was nominated for Best Actress that night for her work in Sense and Sensibility, but she lost to Casino’s Sharon Stone.
