Rose Byrne won Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy at the 2026 Golden Globes for "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," but her longtime partner Bobby Cannavale wasn't there to celebrate with her. The reason? He was at a reptile expo in New Jersey buying a bearded dragon for their family.
During her acceptance speech, Byrne explained the unusual absence to roaring laughter from the audience, saying "I want to thank my husband, Bobby Cannavale. He couldn't be here because we're getting a bearded dragon, and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey." The excuse was completely real, as Byrne had mentioned the planned lizard purchase days earlier on The Tonight Show. While Cannavale missed the big moment in person, Byrne's brother George accompanied her to the ceremony, and she gave a sweet shoutout to her parents in Sydney who bought Paramount Plus just to watch the show.

Rose Byrne delivered one of the most memorable and hilarious speeches at the 2026 Golden Globes after winning Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You." The 46-year-old Australian actress appeared genuinely shocked by her win, admitting from the stage that she didn't prepare anything because she didn't expect to win.
The highlight of her speech came when she explained why her longtime partner Bobby Cannavale wasn't there. "I want to thank my husband, Bobby Cannavale. He couldn't be here because we're getting a bearded dragon, and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey," she said to roaring laughter from the audience. Byrne also gave a sweet shoutout to her parents who bought Paramount Plus just so they could watch the Golden Globes from Sydney. The speech perfectly captured Byrne's down-to-earth personality and comedic timing, making it one of the most delightful moments of the evening.
