Backstage: 'This is what 59 looks like!' exclaims Golden Globe winner Patricia Clarkson

After Patricia Clarkson won the Golden Globe for her supporting role in "Sharp Objects," she went backstage and was greeted by a slew of applause from reporters.

"This is what 59 looks like!" she said, to even more praise from the press. To celebrate, she said she'll treat herself to some bolognese.

Clarkson also said she would call her parents, whom she thanked at the end of her speech onstage. In fact, she attributes any acclaim for her performance _ even though it's such a dark role _ to them.

"I dedicated it to them because I had an extraordinary childhood," she explained of playing such a "compromised, fractured, brutal woman" as Adora Crellin.

"I had a beautiful life growing up. I actually think that feeds you in an odd juxtaposition. Adora was one for the books, literally and figuratively. But she is a character that I love, still, with all of her foils, all of her faults, all of her troubles. I still love her."
