Stephen Graham Got A Little Bit Star-Struck By 1 A-Lister During His Golden Globes Speech

Stephen Graham got caught a little off guard after spotting a certain A-lister in the audience during his acceptance speech at this year’s Golden Globes.

On Sunday night, the British star picked up the Best Male Actor In A Limited Series award for his performance in the hit Netflix drama Adolescence, with the show also sweeping every other category it was nominated for.

After his initial declaration of “bomboclaat” was abruptly censored by Golden Globes producers, Stephen went on to celebrate his fellow nominees before praising the entire cast and crew of Adolescence.

He then gave a shout-out to his on-screen wife Christine Tremarco, claiming his win was “half yours”, before turning his attention to his real-life wife of almost 20 years and co-producer, Hannah Walters, crediting her with “saving my life”.

Looking out to the audience he then thanked “all my friends and family”, who he said already know “exactly who you are – and without you none of this is possible”.

Interrupting his train of thought, he then caught sight of one celebrity guest in the auditorium, declaring: “Queen Latifah! Wow! Can’t believe it!”

Stephen’s shout-out wasn’t the only love shown to the rapper and Chicago actor during the ceremony, though.

Later in the evening, she and Dakota Fanning presented the Best Female Actor In A TV Drama award to Pluribus’ Rhea Seehorn, who declared: “Queen Latifah! I met you about 20 years ago, between jobs at a Koo Koo Roo. And you were so nice! So, thanks…”

Adolescence was the top-winning TV show at the 2026 Golden Globes, triumphing in four categories overall (including acting prizes for cast members Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty), with the hit Paul Thomas Anderson movie One Battle After Another taking home the same number of awards.
