00:00Look who we have!
00:02Awkwafina!
00:02Wow, congratulations.
00:03We're so happy for you, so well-deserved.
00:06How does it feel?
00:07It feels very surreal,
00:09and my nervous system is still all over the place,
00:12so I don't know if I'll make sense in this interview.
00:14We're not making any sense.
00:16We're happier for you than you're happy.
00:17We were crying when you won.
00:19We're such big fans.
00:22That's very sweet.
00:22I'm big fans of you guys as well.
00:24Well, thank you.
00:24I know we just met five minutes ago,
00:26but I feel like we're vibing.
00:28We're vibing.
00:29You have had an incredible year with really diverse projects.
00:33This one seems extra special to you.
00:35Why did you feel like this was a role that you just had to take?
00:39I felt like it was a role I had to take
00:40because when I read the script,
00:42I knew that it asked of an actress of certain things
00:45to have dramatic capabilities and to also speak Chinese,
00:51and those were two things that I didn't think that I could do.
00:53It was very challenging,
00:54but I knew that this material was so close to me
00:57and that I related to Billie.
01:00I felt Billie,
01:00and that was why I needed to do it.
01:02No one was more excited than your table.
01:05With your win tonight,
01:06Lulu Wang, the director who I love
01:08and can't wait to see what she does next,
01:10jumping up and down.
01:11Your face was complete shock.
01:13I was shocked.
01:13You need to watch it back because it's just phenomenal.
01:16No.
01:16Are you really not expecting it?
01:18Not, I mean, no, no.
01:20Do you ever really,
01:21are you supposed to expect those things?
01:23I mean, you don't know,
01:23and also because the group I was nominated with
01:25is just like incredible actresses.
01:27You never know,
01:28but yeah, this is just very surreal.
01:31You so deserve it,
01:32and I was listening to a red carpet interview
01:35where you were saying it was your first Golden Globes,
01:37but it seems so crazy
01:37because it seems like you've been around a while,
01:39which is, this is all still really new for you.
01:41Yeah.
01:41Tell us about your night inside the ballroom.
01:43Who did you talk to?
01:44What was your favorite moment?
01:46Um, I, I actually, I, I was, um, I sat, uh,
01:51I was with, with my grandma,
01:52the woman who plays my grandma,
01:53and, uh, Lulu Wong,
01:54and, and I, and I went and said hi to,
01:57to Lisa Liu who plays Amma and Crazy Rich Asians,
01:59but that was about all the mingling I did.
02:01I didn't do a lot of,
02:01I should have done more mingling.
02:02I regret that.
02:03You have the parties for that.
02:04Yeah, exactly.
02:05You have to stick around for the parties wrong.
02:07When you have that.
02:08I'm just gonna,
02:08I'm gonna carry it around for the next couple months.
02:10This is how I'm going to the Grove.
02:12Yeah, yeah.
02:13Like in the checkout line, supermarket.
02:15Yes.
02:15Yes, I'll be.
02:15Oh, did I leave that there?
02:17I'll be at Topshop and be like,
02:18oh, excuse me.
02:18No, no, I won't.
02:19I won't.
02:20Um, but yeah, no, it's just a very cool,
02:22very cool thing.
02:22I love thinking about sort of sliding doors moments,
02:24and I know that, you know,
02:25this all started with a viral video for you
02:27called My Badge.
02:28Yes.
02:28And you lost your job at a publishing firm,
02:31is that right?
02:31And your dad was really mad at you.
02:33Do you ever look back at that and think about,
02:34like, where would you be now
02:35had you not shot that video?
02:38Is your dad still mad?
02:40I hope not.
02:42Look, Dad, it turned out okay.
02:43Yeah, look, Dad.
02:44No, I think he's cool with everything.
02:47I don't know where I'd be, but I think that,
02:51I don't think I would have ever dreamed
02:53that my life could become something like this,
02:54just a ride like this.
02:57Uh, it was too big of a dream for me.
02:59Yeah.
02:59So you're not gonna wake up tomorrow
03:00remorseful that you're not still the publishing firm?
03:02You're okay?
03:03You're okay?
03:04Definitely I'm okay, yeah.
03:06It turned out okay.
03:06I'd say it turned out okay, yeah.
03:09What's next for you?
03:10What are you most excited about
03:11with your projects coming up?
03:12Um, well, uh, I have a show coming out in January.
03:17I'm very excited about releasing that.
03:18Um, and then I go and work on my next project,
03:21which is, uh, uh, Shang-Chi Marvel.
03:23Yeah.
03:24Yeah, so.

03:28Are you ready for the Marvel Universe fans?
03:30Because they're ready for you.
03:32They're intense.
03:32Oh, man.
03:33Uh, yeah.
03:33I hope so.

03:36Well, we wish we could follow you around all night long.
03:38You should. You guys are fun.
03:39But that would be monopolizing your time.
03:40So go enjoy your night.
