Actor Paul Walter Hauser used his Golden Globe acceptance speech on Tuesday evening for a rousing tribute to his “Black Fowl” co-star Ray Liotta that had the viewers on its toes.
Hauser, who gained Finest Supporting Actor in a Restricted Collection, took the Beverly Hilton Lodge stage and thanked “the solid, Greg Kinnear, Sepideh Moafi, Joe Williamson, Jake McLaughlin” earlier than passionately lauding “Ray Li-freaking-otta. Ray Li — stand up! Come on! Ray Liotta! Ray, Liotta, child!”
“Black Fowl” facilities on the FBI turning real-life convict James “Jimmy” Keene (Taron Egerton) into an informant ordered to elicit a confession from fellow inmate Larry Corridor (Hauser) — a suspected serial killer — in alternate for a commuted sentence, per Apple.
Egerton, who performed Liotta’s son within the Apple TV+ crime drama, curiously wasn’t talked about in Hauser’s rousing speech. The actor, who gained a Globe himself in 2020 for the Elton John biopic “Rocket Man,” was nonetheless seen within the viewers, clapping at Liotta’s point out.
Hauser concluded his speech with a “shoutout to my brother and my king, Jesus Christ,” and inscrutably telling his supervisor Brian Walsh to “get the tables.”
