And she thanks her daughter before telling the audience "the most important person I think I have to thank is my nanny, Sally, I love her. Thank you, Sally, I love you so much," she concludes before looking around quickly, saying, "okay" and ducking away from the podium as the audience erupts with applause.

After heaping praise upon her co-stars, telling them they did "70 per cent of the work for me" she turns to the camera and shares that she thinks she's "going to faint. It means a lot, it's meaningful," she says, likely alluding to her recent Rolling Stones interview where she revealed she had been subjected to criticism about her weight from a member of the production team. "Um, okay, sorry, I'm going to be really bad," Lynskey tells the rapturous audience.

Think of us as your eyes and ears. “The most important person I think I have to thank is my nanny, Sally, I love her. Of course— Teri Hart (@TeriHart) @melanielynskeyis the one to do it! Her acceptance speech was as sweet and charming as she is. It means a lot, it's meaningful.” Her remark was possibly a subtle nod to comments made earlier in the year when she said in an interview that a member of the show's production team had implied she should lose some weight. I’m over the moon for my pal— Dave Karger (@davekarger) @melanielynskeyafter her @CriticsChoiceaward win for Best Actress for Yellowjackets tonight.

"Yellowjackets" star Melanie Lynskey gave a shout-out to her daughter's nanny after winning the 2022 Critics Choice Award for Best Actress in a Drama ...
“I sort of came into this industry with people telling me in explicit and subtle ways that if you are over a particular size, then this is the only kind of character you can play. “And, it’s a show about four middle-aged women and also their younger counterparts and history. She’s with my child, and my child is safe and taken care of, and she allows me to go and do my work.
Whenever I see a bored-looking celebrity couple perfunctorily holding hands on the red carpet, I wish we were getting more like what Melanie Lynskey and ...
On that note, I’d like to introduce the courtship of Yellowjackets star Melanie Lynskey and Parenthood lead Jason Ritter, who began dating in 2013, got engaged in 2017, had their first child—a girl!—in 2018, and officially tied the knot in 2020. I fell even harder for Lynskey when she thanked not only Ritter, but also the couple’s “angel” nanny in her Critics Choice Award acceptance speech on Sunday night (seriously, can we make it an industry standard for famous working parents to thank the people at home who help them juggle it all? (Listen, if it were up to me, I’d be writing glowing profiles of the two cute non-famous lesbians I saw holding hands once at a coffee shop every week, but that’s not entirely journalistically sound.) When I do fall head-over-heels for a cishet pair, though, it’s usually because the male half of the couple seems particularly besotted.

I love her,” Lynskey said. Thank you for giving our little daughter the safest, most joyful, most loving childhood.” “They were asking me, ‘What do you plan to do? They’d love to help you with this,’” Lynskey said.
