Then Gosling said he'd like to "thank one person properly," and that one person was his "lady," Eva Mendes. "While I was singing and dancing and playing piano, and having one of the best experiences I've ever had on a film," Gosling said, "my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer."

"If she hadn't taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today. So, sweetheart, thank you. To my daughters, Amada and Esmeralda, I love you."
NBC
Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer were there for it.

And to top it all off, Gosling dedicated his award to the memory of Juan Carlos Mendes, Eva's late brother.
