‘So then the question becomes, what is valuable? And is it high art? And is it appealing to men? To see women that actually look like their wives or their sisters and their mothers up on screen? I think the lineup of films being celebrated here tonight says, “Yeah, it f*****’ is.”‘
Netflix also enjoyed a successful evening on the TV front as ‘Squid Game’ won the prize for Breakthrough Long Form series with Apple’s ‘CODA’ taking home wins in Best Supporting Performance and Breakthrough Performer for Troy Kotsur and Emilia Jones respectively.
