LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jacqueline Bisset had many Golden Globe Awards viewers scratching their heads after she took to the stage to accept her Best Actress in a mini-series award and gave a bizarre speech.
After taking a fair amount of time to reach the podium – and stopping to kiss Jon Voight on the way – she gave a rambling speech that included dropping “sh**” on stage.
“I want to thank the people who have given me joy. Like my mother, who used to say, ‘Go to hell and don’t come back,” the 69-year-old “Dancing on the Edge” actress said during her acceptance speech.

After her big win, she spoke to Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover, where she explained her headline-making speech.
“I was emotional, it was so unexpected,” she told Access backstage at the Golden Globes.
“I saw a camera man shooting in my direction, I thought is he looking at me? Or looking at someone over there?” she continued, explaining that she thought her category was coming much later in the evening. “And I heard my name. I went into that state you go into when you’re in shock.”

“It’s not an easy life as an actress. It’s a lot of battles that go on to exist as a woman, we all have our woman things,” she said. “I was determined to not do rubbish.”
Adding, “I’ve had a few rough years. It’s not been easy, but I keep working, but I say not to things that I feel I can’t bring something unique to, I don’t want to be generic actress. I don’t want to do things that everybody can do.”
