— -- Reese Witherspoon didn't take home a Golden Globe on Sunday, but to her mom, she's always a winner.

The actress, who had been nominated in the best dramatic actress category for her role in "Wild," shared sweet text messages from her mother.

"Aww thanks Mom for all the words of encouragement," she wrote on Instagram. "Congrats to all the #GoldenGlobe winners last night! What a fun celebration of movies this year....and thank you to all the amazing fans who have supported #WILDmovie."

Witherspoon, 38, hit the red carpet with Cheryl Strayed, the author of the book on whom her movie was based, wore a Calvin Klein gown and jewels from Tiffany & Co. The dress, which she described as "so special," took 80 hours to make. She also showed off a tiny rabbit figurine that a friend gave her as a good luck charm ahead of time.

"Wish me luck!" she wrote before the ceremony.
