Steinfeld’s Stage Moment

The line drew cheers inside the ballroom, according to News Of Philadelphia‘s coverage.
Allen’s Game-Day Heroics

The victory ended Buffalo’s three-decade drought in road playoff games.

Even while celebrating on the field, Allen kept tabs on the Globes. After Steinfeld’s red-carpet photos hit timelines, he reposted one shot and added a single drooling emoji.
Steinfeld’s Night of Wins
Sinners, the Ryan Coogler horror drama, entered with seven nominations and left with two trophies:
- Cinematic and Box Office Achievement
- Best Original Score
In a February chat with Who What Wear, Steinfeld called her role as Mary – a white-passing Black woman in the Jim Crow South – “a role I had been waiting for.”
“When I read the script, it was one of those things where it’s just a feeling,” she said. “It’s a feeling I’ve only got a handful of times, and that’s a privilege and a blessing.”
She added, “I hope and pray that I get to do a million more of these, because I do think that’s part of this next phase of life.”
