Thank you very much,” he said.Other Jewish winners were Joaquin Phoenix, for his performance in the movie Joker, who gave a profanity-laced speech that tested the response time of the Golden Globes’ censor and thanked the crowd “for putting up with me,” as well as Patricia Arquette, who won the award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television. Arquette made a politically charged speech in which she said, “So while I love my kids so much, I beg of us all to give them a better world.”Americans of Middle Eastern descent were represented by Ramy Youssef, the Queens-born actor from an Egyptian family who won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy.
