Rose Byrne Stuns in Cutout Gown at Awards!

She added a bit of humor to her acceptance speech and shared the reason why her partner Bobby Cannavale did not accompany her to the event at the time. 

'Thanks to my husband Bobby. He isn't here because we're getting a bearded dragon, and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey,' she revealed to the audience. 

The actress went on to add, 'I didn't prepare anything, but - I didn't sing in this movie, guys. Thank you so much my fellow nominees, I just can't believe I'm here.'

She also joked, 'Thank you for believing in me and giving me this opportunity. We shot this movie in 25 days for like $8.50!

'Thank you so much. This is like a tiny film, so this is a huge thing to be up here. And my brother's my date! Thanks, George. Thanks to, you know, my mum and dad who bought Paramount Plus so they could watch the Golden Globes from Sydney.' 

Byrne has reflected in the film's recent success and critical praise during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

'I knew, reading the script, that it was singular and unique and unbelievable. But the rest, I could never anticipate.'

She further explained that she did not predict how the movie - which was written and directed by Mary Bronstein - would connect with the audience.

'I've given up trying to figure out what will resonate and what won't,' the actress said. 'But I knew it was extraordinary and special, and I just knew it was an opportunity. 

'I was like, "Oh my gosh, I cannot mess this up." It's a gift for an actress. And I got to try everything: I was stretched. I was challenged - and in a feature film, too, which is so rare to get this opportunity.'

Byrne added, 'I was so hyper aware of that when I signed on and Mary approached me.'

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You has received other accolades and nominations with awards season currently in full swing. 

Byrne garnered an Oscar nomination for Best Actress - with the ceremony set to take place on March 15. It is also her first Academy Award nod. 

She is also set to make an appearance at the upcoming Actor Awards (formerly SAG Awards) after additionally getting a nomination for Outstanding Female Actor in a Leading Role. 

The Australian-born actress has starred in a number of projects over the years including Marie Antionette (2006), 28 Weeks Later (2008), Insidious (2010), Bridesmaids (2011) and the series Platonic.
