"Oh my God. Firstly, thank you very much to the Hollywood Foreign Press and to my fellow nominees and to Peter Morgan for imagining that I could inhibit Mrs. T." Later, she added, "And to Nina Gold, the casting director who believed him or visa versa, however, it worked. To Peter Morgan for writing an exquisitely multidimensional character against the odds".

Anderson gave away her award acceptance speech in her American accent and stunned all the viewers. Her fans were left confused and could not stop themselves from reacting on Twitter. While some were praising her for the award, others were amazed by listening to her accent. The actor recently sparked rumours about her and her ex-boyfriend Peter Morgan's getting back together. Reportedly, the couple who broke up in late 2020, recently stayed together in the Czech Republic while Gillian was shooting for one of her upcoming films. Here's what her fans have been saying ever since she received the award.
