After sweeping the award season for her role in HBO‘s True Detective: Night Country, Jodie Foster gave her take on the current film and TV landscape backstage Sunday at the 82nd annual Golden Globes.

Talking to reporters backstage, she said she thinks, whether film or television, the streamers are taking up the mantle when it comes to bold storytelling at the moment. “Honestly, I think the most exciting narrative filmmaking right now is being done on streaming.

That’s where I really go to see performances and to see characters build over time,” she said. When a reporter asked her which medium she’s enjoying most these days, she added that “although I have to say the features this year are amazing, for me as a feature person, it’s great to see that both can coexist, and there are different ways of telling stories.” Foster also won an Emmy for her performance in True Detective and called it a “golden age” for older women in Hollywood, who are increasingly being honored for their performances as of late after spending decades in the industry.

Jean Smart and Demi Moore were among those who also took home trophies Sunday. During her acceptance speech, Moore spoke about thinking the most fruitful years of her career had passed before she took a role in The Substance.
