Actress Renee Zellweger says she had a “geek spiral” when she won an Oscar in 2004.
During an appearance in an episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, the actress looked back at the time when she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in “Cold Mountain”.
She said that she planned to “not do that spiral”, but forgot all of her planning when she got on stage to accept the award.

“It just goes out the window. 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,” she said.
Over the years, Zellweger has gotten better at handling her winning speeches.
