“I did it all by myself,” Allison hilariously quipped as she picked up her golden gong and naturally, the audience erupted into fits of laughter.

Allison has picked up the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in I, Tonya.
She went on to thank I, Tonya writer Steven Rodgers for the gift of her character, Tonya Hardin’s mother LaVana Golden.
“I did not see this coming! Thank you to my I, Tonya family… The magnificent Margot Robbie. The cast and crew and bird that elevated my work,” Allison mused, pointing out the surprising stand-out star of the movie, LaVana’s parrot.
In a beautiful moment, Allison dedicated her win to her late brother Hal who tragically died after he commited suicide in 2011.
“To my mother and father, Jay, my family, my family of friends… And this is for Hal. You’re always in my heart,” she said.
