During her speech, Taylor humorously described Paulson, whom she has been with since 2015, as a wild creature of the animal kingdom. She explained, Warm-blooded, instinctive, mysterious. And Sarah is dangerousnot like a snake, more like a mongoose, those adorable little creatures that kill snakes.

Taylor also praised Paulsons acting abilities, highlighting her dedication to authenticity. Nothing distracts her from fully understanding her charactertheir strengths, flaws, and humanity, Taylor said. She pinpoints the heart of a story in ways most of us cant even perceive.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Taylor celebrated Paulsons personal qualities. Many of you have known Sarah for years, but we also know the deeply caring, loyal person she is. Loving her comes with recognizing the intensity she brings, she shared. Taylor emphasized Paulsons devotion to friends and family, calling her complex, dedicated, and generous.

She concluded with a declaration of love: Sarah breaks molds, defies expectations, and always surprises. Hollywood is right to honor her, and she has a permanent shining star in my heart. I love you, darling.

Paulson and Taylor first met years before they began dating. Paulson once recalled that a decade prior to their relationship, they had dinner with actor Allison Janney and the late Buck Henry, who photographed them together. That picture was on my refrigerator for ten years, Paulson said.

Despite being together for over ten years, the couple has no plans to marry. Marriage hasnt held meaning for us in the way it does for many others, Taylor explained.

Taylor also acknowledged their 32-year age difference but noted it has allowed her to provide guidance based on her own life experiences. She goes through challenges that I faced decades ago, and I can relate and support her, Taylor said.
