Ariana DeBose Sweetly Honours Rita Moreno After Winning Best Supporting Actress At 2022 Critics’ Choice Awards
etcanada.comAriana DeBose has won Best Supporting Actress at the 202 Critics’ Choice Awards for her role in “West Side Story”. The actress was blown away as she accepted the award from The Savoy Hotel in London, just hours after earning a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress for the same role.
DeBose stunned in a goldenrod yellow strapless column gown from Carolina Herrera as she thanked fans and critics for their support. “Critics, you matter, and I am so, so, so grateful for your support of ‘West Side Story’,” DeBose shared. “There were so many people who questions whether or not this film should be reimagined, and you rallied around us, you loved on us, every single one of us, and I am very, very grateful for that.” “To my fellow nominees, you are also esteemed and glorious and I love you so much!
You inspire me, and especially one fellow nominee, the great Rita Moreno,” she shared, addressing the Oscar winner who was nominated in the same category as DeBose. “Seriously, you made space for me to thrive beside you.
I am not in front of you, I am not behind you, I am beside you, and that is the greatest gift you could have ever given me.” DeBose’s win comes on the heels of bringing home hardware in the same category at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards, where she called Steven Spielberg’s iteration a great cinematic experience, and thanked him in her speech.
