Thank you to the audience who embraced this movie so much, but especially thank you to the women because women have proven that they’re a huge and powerful audience, and it’s gonna change the movie business,” Condon said. The film’s lead star Emma Watson won the new combined-gender Best Actor award in a Movie.
