Allison Janney won big Sunday at the 2015 Critics' Choice Television Awards!

The Mom star took home the award for Best Supporting Actress and got to make out with James Corden!

The Late Late Show host presented the award to Janney, calling her "one of the best actresses I've ever met." When the 55-year-old star came onstage to accept the statue, she and the 36-year-old British comedian seemed a bit unsure of how to greet one another.

Corden's half-hug and peck on the cheek lent itself to a full embrace and passionate smooch from Janney, and the late-night host didn't seem to mind one bit!

"I didn't mean anything by that other than just, I love this man so much," said Janney. "James Corden, you're one of my favorite comics on the planet!"

The moment clearly left its mark on the Mom star! After the show, she tweeted a photo of her and Corden's smooch, writing, "I don't know what was sweeter.... The #CriticsChoice win or the @JKCorden kiss, both were unforgettable!"

Don't get any ideas about shipping these two, though—Corden's a married man! The funnyman said "I do" to Julia Carey in 2012.

As for Janney? She took a hiatus from dating in 2011 after the sudden death of her brother, Hal. "I felt like, 'You know what? I'm done.' I just stopped thinking there was going to be anybody out there for me," she told Elle in a candid interview published last year. "And then I met somebody who kind of turned my head around and woke me up, like, 'I'm not done yet.'"

That particular relationship didn't work out, but Janney's very buck back in the game. "I want to be a player," she joked. "I'm still single! I want to feel sexy and pretty and young as long as I can."

She definitely looks great, and as we saw at the  2015 Critics' Choice Television Awards, she's confident and irresistible to men of all ages!

Mom airs Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. on CBS.
