For 76 years, the Golden Globes has awarded some of the best actors and actresses in the industry. And with every award given, an acceptance speech follows. But while some winners thank their cast, crew, publicists, and families, others take the opportunity to throw a few life lessons our wayand were all about it.

With the 77th Golden Globes happening right around the corner (Sunday, January 5th!), we thought the best and only way to pregame is by binging some of our favorite actors and actresses speeches (on stage and backstage) from the last couple of years that included golden nuggets of wisdom. Because even though the Golden Globes might be a huge TV spectacle, its also a show about humanity and storytelling.

The greatest lesson Ive learned throughout my career came from Maya Angelou. When I was first meeting her and after Ive known her for a while, she said, Baby, you need to know when people show you who they are, you believe them the first time. And youre problem is that it takes you 29 times to see the same lesson in a different skirt, wearing a different pair of pants.'

I think that has been one of my greatest wisdom teachings is to assess from peoples behavior; their actions, not just toward me, but toward other people; and who they are and how they behave because if people talk about other people, theyll talk about you. So I think in business and in personal relationships, thats also been my greatest lesson.

I got told no millions of times. You werent going to become a successful actor and not be told no many, many, many times. I really wanted it to work, and I wanted to do absolutely everything I could do before giving up. I had a five-year plan, but I definitely had to convince people to hire me.

For so much of my career, for 27 years, I never got to work with another woman. To be able to have incredible scenes and the opportunity to have a spectrum of female behaviors [for] women [to] look differently, [for them to have] different socioeconomic backgrounds, [and to have] different experiences in life. To start the talk about seeing a more dynamic woman on film, I think this is just the beginning, and we hope to continue that and make it more diverse, more inclusive, and make it look more like [how] the world really looks.

Its really important [because] when women are the architects of their stories, the stories change, and you see things differently. We need to hear stories from every type of people and every type of person. And I think its been going on for too long for the same people to tell the same stories over and over again. It feels like its changing.

I remember going to school because I wasnt allowed to talk about magic. I knew Santa Claus was fake, but I was around a lot of kids who didnt know that. So you have this responsibility to keep that going and understand why youre doing it because of joy. So I think human joy is super important. It doesnt come from computers, it comes from beliefyou know, acting, making music. All that stuff is believing in something that maybe someone older doesnt truly believe, but when you see it in a child, it makes you kind of believe it again. Because we forget how innocent and beautiful we were, so I think its our responsibility to make magic again.

Disrespect invites disrespects, violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.

I just know that [our relationship] is a great friendship. I know that when Im down, hes up. And when hes down, Im up, so we could throw each other a ropeI think [we] probably [have] respect on the greatest level [for one another]. And [I want] the best for him as well as him wanting the best for me. I think thats the truest foundation of love.

I never felt like I was in my mothers shadow. I know that always comes up when you have a very famous or prominent parent, but Ive actually always felt like I was in my mothers embrace and part of the way she raised me and all five of her kids [was] to follow my heart and follow my dreams and do the hard work to get there. Its sweet, charming, and wonderful to have a different experience, and yet, have so much of the same as my mom.

Im thinking of my mom who sublimated herself to my father her whole life. And in her eighties, she said to me, I feel like I havent accomplished anything. And it was so not right. I feel what Ive learned through this whole experience is that women, were nurturers, and thats what is expected of us. We have our children, our husbands, if were lucky enough, or our partners. But we have to find personal fulfillment. We have to follow our dreams. We have to say, I can do that and I should be allowed to do that.'
