Even without a script, Ayo Edebiri is earning laughs with her sincerity.
Edebiri, who stars as Sydney Adamu on the FX dramedy “The Bear,” took home the award for best actress in a television comedy at the Golden Globes Sunday night.
Taking the stage in a red strapless Prada gown, Edebiri gushed with gratitude as she began her acceptance speech.
“I’m so very grateful for this. I’m in a room full of so many people who I admire and whose work has lifted me up,” Edebiri said. “I’m an artist, and I’m very lucky to be an artist — and I know we all feel that way, so I just really want to acknowledge that.”

Caught up in the emotion of her win, the 28-year-old actress and writer excitedly gave shoutouts to the supporters in her life, including her family and “The Bear” castmates.
“Everybody at ‘The Bear,’ that’s my family. I love you guys so much. It’s an honor to work with you and grow alongside you,” said Edebiri, before quickly interjecting, “Oh my gosh, the actors I was nominated alongside, also. Ah! And my real family, also. I love you guys, too.”

Edebiri also gave a playful, but heartfelt thanks to “all of my agents and managers’ assistants.”
“(To) the people who answer my emails, y’all are real ones. Thank you for answering my crazy, crazy emails,” Edebiri said. “If I forgot to thank you, I’m sorry, unless you were mean or something.”
In addition to “The Bear,” Edebiri starred in the 2023 teen comedy “Bottoms” alongside Rachel Sennott and Havana Rose Liu. She also served as a writer on the FX horror comedy “What We Do in the Shadows” in 2022.
When asked in the Globes press room if women are gaining authority in the comedy genre, Edebiri remained optimistic.
“I hope studios are starting to listen that audiences are intelligent, and I think ‘The Bear’ and ‘Bottoms’ are both pieces of work that don’t underestimate the audience’s intelligence,” Edebiri said. “'The Bear' doesn’t underestimate people’s depth, like feeling and understanding and empathy, and I think ‘Bottoms’ we were like, ‘No, people will be down to be as stupid as possible with us and just have a good time.’”
