Best actress winner Jessie Buckley exalted “the chaos of a mother’s heart” in her Oscar speech Sunday.
Buckley, who won the Academy Award for portraying Agnes, Shakespeare’s wife, in the movie Hamnet, gushed with enthusiasm as she praised her husband, Fred, and daughter Isla.
“Fred, I love you, man. I love you,” the Irish actress and first-time winner said. “You’re the most incredible dad. You’re my best friend and I want to have 20,000 more babies with you. I do.
“And Isla, my little girl, who is 8 months old, who has absolutely no idea what’s going on and is probably dreaming of milk – but this is kind of a big deal – and I love you, and I love being your mom, and I can’t wait to discover life beside you.”
She also said the “journey to understand the capacity of a mother’s love is the greatest collision of my life.”
