One for you and one for me! In a memorable move following her big win at the 2016 Golden Globes, Taraji P. Henson handed out some sweet treats on her way up to the stage, to accept her award for Best Actress in a Drama TV series, thanks to her sassy role as Cookie on FOX’s hit “Empire.”
“Cookies for everyone tonight, my treat!” Henson began, after commanding, “Get off my train!” to a man helping her up the stairs. “Who knew that playing an ex-convict would take me all around the globe? … So the world loves real. Thank you,” she continued.
During her speech, Henson revealed that fans had been lobbying for her to rap, but “You’re going to have to wait for that,” she said. After doling out her thank yous, she concluded, “I’m taking this one for the entire Empire.”
In case you missed it, Henson faced some stiff competition in her category for Best Actress in a Drama TV series, including “Outlander‘s” Caitriona Balfe, “How to Get Away With Murder‘s” Viola Davis, “Penny Dreadful‘s” Eva Greenand, and “House of Cards‘” Robin Wright. But in true Cookie fashion, she came out on top! Congrats Cookie! Show her some love in the comment section below!
