Sofia Vergara is left raging after missing out on award wins following her performance in Griselda as she admits she begged Jodie Foster to give her the Golden Globe
Sofia Vergara was left raging after failing to pick up any accolades during awards season following her performance in Griselda.
The actress, 52, played the infamous 'Cocaine Godmother' Griselda Blanco in the hit Netflix series and received nominations at both the Golden Globes and Emmy awards earlier this year.
However Sofia proved she was by no means a graceful loser as she made her true feelings known during an appearance on the Jimmy Fallon show on Monday evening.
The host began: 'Can we talk about how great you are? Last time you were here we talked about Griselda and then bang you get nominated for a Golden Globe and you get nominated for an Emmy. Congratulations!'
Yet while the crowd cheered, Sofia exclaimed: 'And I didn't win any of it! I didn't win any of it.'
Trying to appease the star, Jimmy insisted: 'It doesn't matter,' while she hit back: 'It matters.'
He continued: 'It does not mean anything, the nominations that's an honour.'
Sofia then took a dig at her fellow nominee as she said: 'Jodie Foster took everything.'
As Jimmy added: 'Jodie Foster is amazing of course,' Sofia continued: 'Yeah, but it doesn't matter.'
During the Golden Globes ceremony in January Jodie scooped the award for Best Actress in a Limited Series for her role as police chief Liz Danvers in True Detective: Night Country.
Yet her triumphant win was somewhat interrupted by a playful heckle from Sofia who was seen rising up from her seat and approaching the stage as she exclaimed, 'Oh no, give me one!'
Confirming she tried to take her award Sofia told Jimmy: 'I tried I tried to stop her in the middle of the Golden Globes but it was too late.'
'What did you say to her?' asked the host as Sofia replied: '"Give it to me" She took everything.'
Trying to spare the awkwardness Jimmy asked: 'But I think you are so good will you be back for more?'
Sofia hit back: 'I don't want to be back for more, for what they're not going to give me the award.'
'But you're a good dramatic actor,' insisted Jimmy.
'I mean I had fun but it was very difficult. I mean there's nothing like doing Modern Family and comedy, it was a lot of work.
'Maybe I do dramatic, but I don't know if I want to do it again with the prosthetics. Why don't you do it? It's difficult.'
Back in January as Jodie took to the stage Sofia rose up from her seat and approaching the stage as she exclaimed, 'Oh no, give me one!'
'I know, I know,' Jodie replied while chuckling, as she acknowledged the star's good-natured jest.
The camera then cut to Sofia's face, who looked momentarily serious before breaking into a laugh.
Jodie also acknowledged Sofia in her speech, telling the crowd: 'The greatest thing about being this age and being in this time is having a community of all these people, especially you, Sofia.'

The reason why Americans like William and Kate more than Meghan and Harry
Americans like Prince William more than Prince Harry - and the Princess of Wales more than Meghan Markle - because the Sussexes' have chosen celebrity and self-martyrdom over royal duty, it was claimed today. A recent YouGov poll in the US revealed Prince William enjoys a 63 per cent favourability rating among Americans - comfortably above Harry's rating of 56 per cent. The Princess of Wales has a 49 per cent rating in the US compared to the only American on the list, Meghan Markle, who has a 41 per cent rating. Even worse for the Duchess of Sussex, 25 per cent of Americans view her unfavourably compared to six per cent for her British sister in law, best known as Kate Middleton across the Atlantic. UK-US politics expert and policy maker Lee Cohen has said that the polls show that Americans prefer the 'unshowy sense of duty' of the Wales' over the 'self-promoting' Sussexes. He believes that Meghan and Harry have come to 'personify grievance, vanity and betrayal'. 'Even in a land that rejected monarchy, public sentiment favours hands down the Prince and Princess of Wales over the rogue runaways who swapped Buckingham for Beverly Hills', he said. Mr Cohen is a trade expert and senior Fellow of the London Centre for Policy Research who worked in Congress. Having worked in both countries he has also become a commentator for issues on both sides of the Atlantic. Writing for The Spectator US, he said that Americans are tiring of Meghan and Harry, who is viewed negatively by one in five in the US - but is more popular than his wife. 'In an age of cultural decay and institutional collapse, Americans crave continuity. We are drawn to symbols of permanence and poise', he said. 'William and Kate, with their unshowy sense of duty, offer exactly that. The Sussexes, by contrast, offer only the fleeting buzz of celebrity – and worse, a corrosive kind of self-martyrdom disguised as liberation. Fame is not the same as honour. Accepting disingenuous awards, peddling lifestyle brands and monetizing private grievances may pay the bills, but it commands revulsion rather than respect. True nobility lies in service, not self-promotion'. He said that the Sussexes, in 'casting off' royal duties, have also lost their 'mystique' and Americans are 'running out of patience'. 'William and Kate, by simply showing up, remind us of a forgotten truth: that dignity, loyalty and service are not relics of the past but virtues still worth aspiring to. 'As Harry and Meghan sink into self-inflicted irrelevance, the Wales' soar – not because they bully nor shout the loudest, but because they understand Queen Elizabeth's example of the power of humble duty done well'. The most popular royal overall is William and Harry's late mother Princess Diana, who died in 1997, with a 79 per cent positive rating and 4 per cent negative. The late Queen Elizabeth II, who died in 2022, is in second place with a 73 per cent positive and 8 per cent negative ranking. William is in third overall and Harry fourth. The Prince of Wales has a 63 per cent positivity rating in America and 10 per cent negative, which puts him in first place among living royals. Some 56 per cent of US adults have a positive view of the Duke of Sussex while 21 per cent a negative opinion, according to the YouGov study for The Times. The Princess of Wales has a 49 per cent positive rating and 6 per cent negative All the senior royals are more popular than Meghan, the only US citizen on the list, whose ratings are 41 per cent positive and 25 per cent negative. The poll of 1,296 US adults was carried out between April 21 and 23, before Harry's bombshell BBC interview in which he called for 'reconciliation' with his family. Some 61 per cent have not changed their opinion on the couple since their move to the US, but 17 per cent said it was now worse and 10 per cent said it was now better. Yesterday it emerged that Prince Harry sought advice from Princess Diana 's brother about changing his family name to Spencer. Sources told the Mail on Sunday the Duke of Sussex actively explored ways to assume his mother's surname – a move that would have involved ditching Mountbatten-Windsor, used by his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. It is understood he discussed the issue with Earl Spencer – whose family seat is Althorp in Northamptonshire – during a rare visit to Britain, but was told that the legal hurdles were insurmountable. 'They had a very amicable conversation and Spencer advised him against taking such a step,' said a friend of Harry. Nevertheless, the fact that he consulted the Earl over the issue – a proposal that would dismay his brother and father – is a vivid expression of the toxic rift with his family. Mountbatten-Windsor is the surname available to descendants of the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. It combines the Royal Family 's name of Windsor and the Duke of Edinburgh 's adopted surname. On their birth certificates, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's children are Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. Royal author Tom Bower has claimed that 'Meghan decided her real object in life was to be Diana'. If the name change had succeeded, Meghan's daughter, who is believed to have met the King only once, would have become Lilibet Diana Spencer, a more fulsome tribute to Harry's late mother. The move would be particularly hurtful to King Charles, who cherishes the Mountbatten name just as his father did. A mentor to Prince Philip, the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma was also a strong influence on his great-nephew, the future King Charles. Philip adopted the Mountbatten name when he became a naturalised British subject and renounced his Greek and Danish royal title in 1947. The Queen and Philip decided in 1960 that they would like their own direct descendants to be known as Mountbatten-Windsor. According to the Government, you do not have to follow a legal process to start using a new name, but it suggests on its official website using a 'deed poll' to apply for or to change official documents such as a passport or driving licence. Names and titles are a highly sensitive subject for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. They were given their Sussex titles by Queen Elizabeth on the day of their wedding in 2018. Meghan recently insisted her surname is Sussex, correcting a guest on her Netflix cookery and lifestyle programme. In episode two of With Love, Meghan, which was released in March, the 43-year-old former actress was joined by comedienne Mindy Kaling. Meghan told her: 'It's so funny you keep saying 'Meghan Markle' – you know I'm Sussex now.'

Sydney Sweeney reveals 'secret' to maintaining her busty figure
Sydney Sweeney has 'revealed' how she maintains her busty figure. The actress, 27, told The Times that eating a ton of sweets is to thank for her chest. Discussing her diet with the publication, she joked that she eats like a 'toddler', with her go-to dishes including cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, sweet potato fries, and hot dogs. She also said she loves to bake desserts, including chocolate chip cookies and Nutella brownies. 'It all goes to my boobs,' Sydney laughed. Elsewhere in the interview, she finally spoke about the status of her relationship with Jonathan Davino following months of split rumors. The blonde beauty, who was seen without her engagement ring in February, came clean about the breakup when asked if she was still planning a wedding. 'No,' she said. She then answered 'yes,' when asked if she was single, adding, 'I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it.' She and Jonathan, 41, who produced her successful romcom, Anyone But You, had been together since 2018 and got engaged in 2022. Sydney also appeared to take a subtle swipe at the prominent female Hollywood producer who derided her last year for both her looks and her acting abilities. The Anyone But You actress was publicly mocked by Carol Baum on a New York stage in April 2024. Carol was in conversation with New York Times film critic Janet Maslin when she said Sydney was 'not pretty' and 'can't act,' while also labeling Sydney's 2023 romcom 'unwatchable'. She later made a dramatic U-turn, however, saying that it isn't her style to be 'crapping on an actor like that in public'. While speaking to The Times this week, Sydney said coyly: 'It's the women who give me the hardest time.' She did not directly name Carol or refer to the incident. The actress suggested that people tend to assume she's less involved than she is. She told The Times: 'I have to be like, I want to be in the room, I want to sit in every single meeting and want to be involved in every decision, I want to be taken seriously as a producer.' She explained that she had learned to be 'very direct' and 'very blunt' before adding: 'To be honest, actually, I always find that it's the women who give me the hardest time.'
