Most of us would be distraught if we lost out on a Golden Globe, but The Crown actress Olivia Coleman took losing like a true star.

The actress, who starred in the hit Netflix show was nominated in two categories for playing the Queen in The Crown and also for her role in A Father.

However, instead of looking upset when she didn't win, she did a victory dance for the winners - and it didn't go amiss by her fans, who took to Twitter to congratulate her on her amazing response.

Olivia was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Series, while she was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture, for her part in The Father.

Emma Corrin, who starred with her in The Crown was also nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Series, for her roles as Princess Diana. So, when the winner was announced the two actresses were side by side on the video link.

But instead of looking disheartened about her loss, when Emma was announced as the winner, Olivia couldn't look more excited, clapping, and then doing a little victory dance. How sweet!

Fans of Olivia took to Twitter to share Olivia's reaction, while one added: “Olivia Colman’s reaction when Emma Corrin won is the most beautiful thing you will see.”

While another also added: "Watching Olivia Colman go nuts cheering for Emma Corrin when she beat her for a globe was the most precious."

The Crown did well at Sunday night's Golden Globes, collecting four awards for the Netflix show - including Best Drama series and also Best Supporting Actress.
