Renee Zellweger Admits She Had A 'Geek Spiral' When She Won Her 2004 Oscar!

Renée Zellweger paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night (January 30) and admitted that winning an Oscar turns people into total geeks.

The 50-year-old Judy star talked to Jimmy about winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2004 for her Cold Mountain performance, and admitted that before her win, she had a plan to “not do that spiral” that makes people watching the award show “roll their eyes.”

“It just goes out the window,” Renée said. “You’re not going to be the geek person that freezes up and can’t hear anything and gets emotional, and then somebody says your name, and you hear this like, ‘Dooo!’ And then you do the geek spiral. I remember somebody was talking, and I guess it was me.”

This year, Renée is nominated in the Oscars’ Best Actress category for her role in Judy.

Jimmy also asked Renée who she’s rooting for at the 2020 Super Bowl this Sunday (February 2): “I gotta see J.Lo do her thing, c’mon!,” she said in support of Jennifer Lopez‘s halftime performance. “I’m rooting for J.Lo, I’m looking forward to that.”
