Olivia Colman is indisputably a national treasure.

And, that status was well and truly confirmed (for the umpteenth time) during her Golden Globes acceptance speech.

As Colman accepted the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her role as Queen Anne in The Favourite, she gave a shout out to her co-stars Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz.

"Ma bitches," Colman said. "Emma and Rachel, thank you. Every second of working with you girls was such a joy, so much fun, I was so sad when it finished."

Oh what we'd give to be one of Colman's bitches.
