Amy Sherman-Palladino Gave Us Major ‘Gilmore Girls’ Vibes in Her Golden Globes Acceptance Speech

We have creator Amy Sherman-Palladino to thank for bringing us the legendary characters of Gilmore Girls, despite the fact that the show never really caught on with award show voters during its run. However, Sherman-Palladino and her husband / co-executive producer Dan Palladino may have finally found a critics’ darling with their new Amazon series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. At Sunday night’s Golden Globes ceremony, lead actress Rachel Brosnahan was awarded the trophy for Best TV Comedy Actress, while the entire series won for Best TV Series in the Musical or Comedy genre. 

While I’m thrilled that the Palladinos are finally getting the recognition they deserve for the delightful Mrs. Maisel, it’s clear that Sherman-Palladino is basically Lorelai Gilmore in true form. Rocking a high-low skirt and her signature top hat, she led her cast and crew to the stage when their win was announced, seeming a little bewildered about how exactly to get to the stage (I mean, same). When she and her squad finally did, it was like we were instantly zapped into Stars Hollow.

“They make it a little harder to get up here,” the Mrs. Maisel creator, writer and executive producer said when she reached the microphone. “Oy, the Spanx!”

So, where are her poodles and Luke’s coffee cup?

In true Sherman-Palladino fashion, she delivered her speech rapidly, thanking her crew for their transformation of New York City, Amazon for its production and the talented cast for their work. Just when you thought this moment was going to end normally, Sherman-Palladino seriously channeled Lorelai in her sign-off. “I’m going backstage,” she told the crowd, looking around. “Is there cheese backstage? Let’s go backstage. Bye!” 

Throw in the fact that both Alexis Bledel and Milo Ventimiglia were at the ceremony representing The Handmaid’s Tale and This Is Us, and the Globes were essentially an unofficial Gilmore Girls reunion. Twitter, of course, praised Sherman-Palladino for being her wonderful old self.

If this is how all of Sherman-Palladino’s speeches would be, here’s hoping that The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel meets even more success.
