SENATOR Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada joined Senate colleagues in introducing a resolution commending and congratulating actress Dolly Earnshaw de Leon for winning acting trophies from various international award-giving bodies, scoring historic nominations, and her successes in the global film circuit.
“Her triumph opens doors for many gifted Filipino actors and creative workers to be noticed and represented internationally and proves that Filipino talent is truly world-class. Her phenomenal success brings immense honor and pride to the country, and deserves commendation from the Senate,” Estrada said in filing Senate Resolution No. 550.
De Leon’s standout performance in the 2022 Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or winning satirical black comedy film, “Triangle of Sadness” by Swedish director Ruben Ӧstlund won her Best Supporting Performance in the 2022 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards (LAFCA) and the Breakthrough Performance Award at the 10th annual Middleburg Film Festival.
She also bagged the Best Actress in a Supporting Role award from the Guldbagge Awards, Sweden’s leading film awards which have been presented since 1964, and the Best Supporting Actress trophy from the North Dakota Film Society.
De Leon’s role as Abigail, a toilet cleaner of a luxury yacht who emerged as the leader of a group of survivors of a shipwreck was likewise widely acclaimed and praised by film critics worldwide.
The seasoned movie, theater, and television actress likewise earned a historic nomination last December in the 80th Golden Globe Awards in the Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role In Any Motion Picture category, the first Filipino ever to nab an acting nod from the Golden Globes.
Early this year, De Leon again made history when she secured a nomination from the 76th British Academy Film Awards. The feat marked the first time that a Filipino actor was nominated in the major acting category of the BAFTA or the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. The prestigious event honors remarkable achievements in British and international contributions to film.
She also received notable acting nominations from numerous award-giving bodies including the US National Society of Film Critics, UK Film Critics Association, London Film Critics Circle, International Cinephile Society Awards, San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle, Online Association of Female Film Critics, among others.
“With her 30 years of experience, dedication to the craft, perseverance, and excellent body of work, De Leon is now being recognized and celebrated as one of the greatest actors today and worthy of recognition from the Senate as her exemplary achievements brought honor and pride to the country,” Estrada said.
