The actress used her platform at the prize-giving to speak about the ‘revolution’ brought forward by women to dismantle the patriarchy since the beginning of the #MeToo movement.   

She said during her speech, which she delivered in her native language, French: ‘For the past several years, the subordination of women has become increasingly unacceptable in the public eye; it’s always been so but we talk about it much more today, obviously, since #MeToo.

‘It has allowed women to speak freely, it’s a true revolution, an intense one and I am very happy to live it.

‘Today, as women, we know we can be supported by a community of women and men and that’s an important thing. 

‘The result is that there are indeed more women, more roles for women, and the more we speak about them, the more it changes the way we look at them.

She continued: ‘There are things that are no longer tolerated today. We didn’t accept before, but they were tolerated by a large part of the population.

‘Today there’s a big discussion and reassessment of the patriarchal system in which we live and where women have a relative place.’

On Friday, the actress wiped away her tears of joy as fellow actress Penélope Cruz presented her with the award – which celebrates outstanding contributions to the film industry. 

Appearing on stage in a black mid-length gown, the star got emotional as she received the prize – exclaiming: ‘I didn’t expect that at all, I love this woman so much!’

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star handed over the award, whispering ‘mon amour’ (my love) to Marion, before going on to deliver a prize-giving speech in Spanish to the audience at the awards.

The award-winner seemed humbled and even shocked by the prize-giving, stopping to place her hand on her heart before giving a speech in French.
