She had heard it so many times by the end of filming it that she repeated it back to me\u2014and it actually made me cry!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Ferrera might not have anticipated that earlier than the night time was over she\u2019d witness Fonda herself recite a couple of alternative snippets from that zeitgeist-tapping monologue written by <strong>Greta Gerwig,<\/strong> because the icon offered Ferrera together with her namesake award.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Alluding to Ferrera\u2019s breakout position in <em>Real Women Have Curves,<\/em> Fonda additionally proclaimed that \u201creal women stand up and speak for what\u2019s right, even when it makes the powers that be\u2014usually men\u2014uncomfortable, maybe especially when it makes the powers that be uncomfortable. She\u2019s there for climate change, for women\u2019s rights, reproductive rights, democracy, voting rights, immigrant rights, and always human rights. I\u2019ve never been happier to say the words on a stage: I love America!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Female empowerment was downright palpable in Hollywood\u2019s Ray Dolby Ballroom throughout WIF\u2019s 50<sup>th<\/sup> annual celebration, a sensation Ferrera\u2019s gotten more and more used to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cIt has been amazing to sit back and watch <em>Barbie<\/em> land in the culture, not just here but globally. And to see what it means to women to be celebrated, and to talk about some hard realities but through joy and through the color pink, and intelligent storytelling that is about women and by women. But it\u2019s for everybody,\u201d she mentioned. \u201cThe incredible success of <em>Barbie<\/em> and the genius of Greta and <strong>Margot<\/strong> [<strong>Robbie<\/strong>] is a win for all of us. It\u2019s a win for the argument that we have to make all the time: that women storytellers should be empowered and given creative power to tell stories the way that they want to tell stories, and that it\u2019s enough for women to tell stories about women for women the way that men have told stories about men for men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em>Flamin\u2019 Hot<\/em> director <strong>Eva Longoria,<\/strong> who shared the Crystal Award for Advocacy with screenwriter <strong>Linda Yvette Ch\u00e1vez,<\/strong> advised <em>Vanity Fair<\/em> that she views her behind-the-camera success much less as a victory lap and extra as a method to inform extra tales in regards to the underrepresented Latino group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cI think I\u2019ve always had confidence and I\u2019ve always believed in my talent. But to have the opportunity to aggregate the team that I did and the actors that I did for this story, that was the magic,\u201d mentioned Longoria. \u201cWe have a very important job in Hollywood: Hollywood defines what heroes look like. And they never look like us in the Latino community. So to be able to put a hero up on screen that looked like my dad and sounded like my uncle, that\u2019s important for our culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] America Ferrera hasn\u2019t but come face-to-face with any of the ladies who&#8217;ve memorized her stirring Barbie speech in regards to the complexity of recent femininity\u2014however she expects that such encounters are coming. \u201cI\u2019ve seen lots of videos online of people learning the monologue and doing the monologue,\u201d Ferrera advised Vanity Fair on the Women [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":114964,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-114962","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrity-gossip"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/showbizztoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
