After Farrell won a Golden Globe for his performance in The Penguin, he used the end of his speech to give craft services, particularly a worker named Carolina, an enthusiastic shoutout—and People magazine tracked her down.

A Hollywood craft services worker responded to the lovely shout-out she got from Golden Globe winner Colin Farrell during his acceptance speech.

On January 5, Farrell won the Globe for Best Actor–Miniseries or Television Film, for portraying Oswald "Oz" Cobb / Penguin in the titular Max series The Penguin, the villainous character he previously played in Matt Reeves' 2022 film The Batman and will reprise for its sequel in 2027.


Farrell began his acceptance speech, by joking, "No one to thank on this one—I did it all by myself. Just a raw, pared-away performance," before shaking his head and mentioning there were "Too many people to thank."

The 48-year-old Irish actor from a suburb in Dublin continued:

“You all know it takes a village, whether it’s on the small screen or the big screen."
"I’m here on the backs of the talent of so many people through the years, maybe this one more than others.”

One person he specifically praised was toward the end of his speech.

"Whoever else I forgot, I do apologize. You know what you mean to me," he said before stopping himself from leaving the mic.

"Oh! Craft service, our great dame," he exclaimed of the tireless workers on film sets who keep actors and production crew members nourished and energized for long days on sets.

As industry peers applauded the unsung heroes, Farrell continued:

"Carolina! Carolina! On those cold winter nights in New York where I was the only one overheating, she’d be there with coconut water every half hour."
"Carolina, God bless you, she kept the whole crew going.”

Farrell was referring to 44-year-old craft service worker Carolina Cadmilema, who has been in the industry feeding crews for over two decades.

People magazine reached out to Cadmilema, who recalled the moment she heard about receiving the honorable mention on TV after her phone kept ringing in the middle of the night.

"Someone sent me the video and I started screaming," said Cadmilema, who had forgotten about the awards ceremony and gone to bed to prepare for an early morning shift on another TV production.

She initially thought there was an emergency from all the attempted phone calls and notifications.

She continued:

“I didn't have no words at the moment and still I cannot believe it. I don't have no words to express, because it's a feeling of happiness."
"It is like a dream that you never expected.”

She told the media outlet she made sure the star was always "hydrated, that he's eating because he's being all day with the suit.”


The nurturing care she gave was mutual.

“He [would] come and ask, ‘Are you doing okay? Are you fine? Did you eat?’ " Cadmilema recalled, adding:

"I would always say to him, ‘Don't worry about me. I can make sure that you're okay.’ He [was] like, ‘No, I have to worry about you!’”
“He's such a nice person, such a nice human.”

“All the times that I spent with him, oh my God, it was amazing,” Cadmilema explained. “I don't have no words, but I feel like I'm so blessed that I have worked with him.”

Social media users gave the Oscar-nominated actor props for being a class act.







This was Farrell's third Golden Globe win.

He first won in the category of Best Actor in a Motion Picture–Musical or Comedy in 2009 for In Bruges and in the same category in 2023 for The Banshees of Inisherin.

Earlier in his speech, Farrell expressed gratitude for makeup artist Mike Marino and his "extraordinary makeup team" and explained the lengthy preparation ritual involved before heading to the set, which involves the application of heavy prosthetics for his transformation into the kingpin of Gotham.

"All it took was three hours in the chair in the morning," explained Farrell. "I drank black coffee, listened to '80s music, and I became a canvas for that team's brilliance.”

Farrell thanked showrunner Lauren LeFranc, and his castmates–including Cristin Milioti, and Reeves for initially "employing" him in his revisionist take on the franchise in The Batman.

He also thanked fellow nominees, particularly his longtime friend and colleague Andrew Scott, with whom he worked on their first film together, Drinking Crude.

Farrell recalled, “(Andrew) who I did my first film with 25, 30 years ago. You can’t even find it on Betamax. It doesn’t exist. But we go back that far.”

To maintain professionalism, Cadmilema said she didn't reach out to Farrell to thank him for the sweet acknowledgment of her in his speech, but she did contact his sister to relay the message.

She confirmed it was received, adding, "That's the only way that I could thank him for the beautiful speech."

Congratulations to Farrell for his Golden Globe.

Also, kudos to Carolina for her well-deserved shout-out from the grateful Hollywood celebrity.
