Sandra Bullock and husband, Jesse James, walk the rainy, red carpet.

It’s not long, ruffled gowns and stormy weather that we’ll remember from this year’s Golden Globes.

No, if we were to name the most overwhelming fad that we can take away from the show, it’s that it’s trendy to have a supportive spouse by your side. Unlike awards shows from other years, these honorees not only remembered to thank their spouses, but showed their love and appreciation.

Being married to an artist has its share of ups and downs, but this is definitely one of the perks.

Here’s what Hollywood’s newest winners had to say about their spouses:

“To my wife, Susie, I love you.”
-Michael Haneke (director), Best foreign language film (White Ribbon)

“Jennifer, all my love and gratitude.”
-Michael C. Hall, Best actor in a TV series (Drama)

“I really don’t want to thank my wife because I could be bussing tables at The Daily Grill right now if not for her.”**
-Robert Downey, Jr., Best actor in a feature film (Comedy/Musical)
**sarcasm intended**

“And as for you, Professor Mary Yeager of UCLA and my wife of 28 years, I love you, baby. This one is yours.”
-John Lithgow, Best supporting actor in a TV series, mini-series or TV movie

“It’s time for acknowledging all the folks. I’m looking at you, sweetheart. Thirty-three years, my wife, my beautiful wife.”
-Jeff Bridges, Best actor in a feature film (Drama)

“And my beautiful, wonderful husband, the best thing I ever did was marry you.”
-Julianna Margulies, Best actress in a TV series (Drama)

“To my husband, there’s no surprise that my work got better when I met you because I never knew what it felt like for someone to have my back.”
-Sandra Bullock, Best actress in a feature film (Drama)

“When I look into the eyes of the man I stood next to at 14 years old, and I said to him, ‘One day, we’re gonna be stars,’ and he said, ‘You first.’ And we walked this red carpet together tonight. Sidney, I love you more than you will ever know, baby.”
-Mo’Nique, Best supporting actress in a feature film

“And I would just like to finally say thank you to the spouses who waited so patiently for four and a half years while we adventured on Pandora (planet from the film Avatar.) Now we’re back. And I would most especially like to say thank you for being so patient to my partner in life, Susan… She’s always got my back. And thank you, baby, because you make my dreams possible. Thank you.”
-James Cameron, Best director, feature film
