Even a Golden Globe winner has to worry about homework!
Actor, singer and filmmaker Teyana Taylor shared a relatable moment from the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony, held this Sunday in Beverly Hills, California.
Taylor disclosed that she requested an extension on her culinary school assignment so she could attend the gala night.
The multi-hyphenate star won Best Supporting Actress in Any Motion Picture for her role in “One Battle After Another” at the ceremony.
Speaking on the red carpet, Taylor said she was anxious about meeting her coursework deadline while juggling her busy awards-season schedule. "I'm a straight-A student, and I want to keep it that way," she said, adding that her chef instructor granted her an extension of a few days to submit her assignment.
Taylor, who is currently enrolled at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, praised the institution for being supportive of her balancing academics alongside her career in music, film and television. She noted that she usually submits her work early, but described the Golden Globes week as "crazy" due to scheduling demands.

In her acceptance speech, Taylor thanked her parents, her close circle of loved ones and director Paul Thomas Anderson for their support. She also delivered an emotional message addressed to women and girls of colour, emphasising confidence, self-worth and belonging.
She ended her tearful remarks by speaking to "my Brown sisters and little Brown girls watching tonight. Our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine," said Taylor. "We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space."
Taylor previously announced her decision to pursue culinary studies in June, sharing on social media that cooking and baking have long been a source of comfort and passion in her life.
