Laura Dern has done it again, taking home her fifth career Golden Globe for her role as fiery lawyer Nora Fanshaw in Marriage Story .

On Sunday, Dern, 52, won the 2020 Golden Globe award for best supporting actress for her role in the Noah Baumbach film, which stars Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver. Derns Fanshaw acts as the divorce lawyer for Johanssons Nicole, the straight shooter delivering powerful comebacks to Ray Liottas Jay Marotta (the divorce lawyer to Drivers Charlie) all while wearing stilettos and plunging necklines.

The role is rumored to be based on Laura Wasser, a high-powered divorce attorney to the stars who practices in Los Angeles and whose client list includes Johansson herself, along with Kim Kardashian , Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, and Britney Spears, according to Esquire .

In her acceptance speech, Dern quipped that she was grateful to Baumbach for allowing her to pay tribute to divorce lawyers, saying such an honor was long, long overdue.
