 Goodbye, girl, and thank you. ||||| Ryan Gosling's Golden Globes acceptance speech melted hearts everywhere after he thanked his wife, Eva Mendes, for holding down the fort while he worked on La La Land . 
 
 “I just would like to try and thank one person properly, and say that while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer,” Gosling said in his speech. “If she hadn’t taken all that on so that I could have this experience, would surely be someone else up here other than me to today. Sweetheart, thank you.”

 CLOSE At Sunday night's 2017 Golden Globes, Ryan Gosling scored a best actor award for his work in La La Land. After accepting his trophy, the actor said, "I would like to try to thank one person properly and say while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I've ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer."

 Hey girls, and guys. Ryan Gosling has a Golden Globe statue for best performance by an actor in a motion picture - musical or comedy and a poignant way of words. 
 
 The La La Land star began his acceptance speech with the signature wit, which we swoon over him for. 
 
 “This isn’t the first time I’ve been mistaken for (fellow nominee) Ryan Reynolds, but it’s getting out of hand,” Gosling said. “Ryan, obviously there’s been some kind of mistake, but I’m up here so if you don’t mind? Okay.”

 The actor’s speech then became more sincere as he articulated his gratitude to his partner, Eva Mendes, who dealt with numerous challenges while Gosling was filming, proving she is quite the Superwoman. 
 
 “You don’t get to be up here without standing on the shoulders of a mountain of people,” he said, “and there’s just no time to thank everyone I just would like to try and thank one person properly and say that while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer. If she hadn’t have taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today. So, sweetheart, thank you. To my daughters, Amada and Esmeralda, I love you and if I may I’d like to dedicate this to the memory of her brother, Juan Carlos Mendez.” 
 
 Mendez died last April at the age of 53, Entertainment Tonight and People report.

– Ryan Gosling is getting a lot of love for his Golden Globes acceptance speech, in which he delivered an emotional tribute to "sweetheart" Eva Mendes. Gosling, who won Best Actor in a Comedy Film for his performance in La La Land, joked about being mistaken for Ryan Reynolds and then got serious, USA Today reports. "You don’t get to be up here without standing on the shoulders of a mountain of people," he said. "While I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one the best experiences I've ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer." "If she hadn't taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today," Gosling continued. "Sweetheart, thank you." He dedicated his prize to the memory of Mendes' brother, who died of cancer in April last year at the age of 53. Time reports that admirers swooned over the real-life version of the Feminist Ryan Gosling meme. "Ryan Gosling just made my heart burst into a million little love pieces with the speech," tweeted Jade Tolbert. "What a great man and hubby!" (A lot of other Twitter users were busy mocking Michael Keaton's unfortunate mix-up.)
