2025 Golden Globes loss.The “Matlock” star, 76, ripped up a piece of paper that seemingly had her acceptance speech on it after “Shogun” star Anna Sawai beat her for the Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama award.Bates clapped after Sawai’s name was called — and then she stared right at the camera and destroyed the paper.The category won by Sawai, 32, also included Emma D’Arcy (“House of the Dragon”), Keira Knightley (“Black Doves”), Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”) and Maya Erskine (“Mr. & Mrs.

Smith”).Russell, 48, was happy that she didn’t win the award. She mouthed “thank you, oh thank you” to the person sitting next to her.During her speech, Sawai graciously gave Bates a shout-out.“I have so much people to thank but I’m gonna keep it short.

Thank you to the voters for voting for me even though I would vote for Kathy Bates any day,” she said, which made the audience laugh.Speaking to Entertainment Tonight after the show, Sawai admitted she was unsure she would win her category.“I was just thinking that I’m so happy for whoever is gonna get it.

I was getting a little bit nervous, but I think I was more nervous once my name was called cause then I had to make a speech,” she said.Sunday’s ceremony marked Bates’ ninth time as a Golden Globe nominee.
