As she accepted one of the biggest awards of the evening, Lily, with tears in her eyes, radiated elegance in a stunning red dress on the red carpet, delivering a deeply moving speech. “It’s truly a gift that we get to do this for a living. That’s the win. It was getting to be here, it was getting to be on set. It was getting to tell stories.” She said.
Adding further, the Killers of the Flower Moon actress said, “It’s so easy to distance ourselves. It’s so easy to close off, to stop feeling, and we all bravely keep feeling, and that humanizes people. That brings people out of the shadows; it brings visibility. Keep telling stories to everybody in this room, to everybody watching abroad. Those of you who are not actors but have a voice, have a story that needs to be heard.”
