The actor shared that her brother George was her date for the night, which left many wondering about Cannavale’s absence.

Thank you, baby.”
The 46-year-old also spoke about how surprised she was by her win and by her film earning a nomination. She said, “Of course, I didn’t prepare anything. I didn’t sing in this movie.” Byrne added, “This is such a shock! Thank you so much.” She also praised If I Had Legs I’d Kick You writer-director Mary Bronstein.
“I share this with Mary Bronstein, my writer and director,” Byrne said. “She wrote this unbelievable screenplay, and she wanted me to do it. I can’t believe that you wanted me to do it.” She also revealed, “We shot this movie in 25 days for, like, $8.50.” Byrne added, “This is a tiny film, so this is a huge thing to be up here.”
Recently, Byrne also spoke about embracing the role of Linda in an interview with W Magazine. She said, “There’s humor, there’s horror, there’s fear, there’s gut-wrenching, raw trauma.” Byrne noted, “It’s about running from yourself. It’s the biggest demon we have.” Speaking about preparing for the role, the actor said, “I had a huge creative task, but it was also a great opportunity.” She added, “My adrenaline was so high while shooting the film.”
