Winners relished the symbolism of their victories. “Thank you for celebrating our female-dominated movie about women in power,” said The Favourite writer Deborah Davis, who won the original screenplay award alongside co-writer Tony McNamara.
Cuaron thanked the film’s backer, Netflix, for having the courage to support “a black and white film about a domestic worker” that is not in English. He said the extent to which the film has been embraced “in an age where fear and anger are proposed to divide us means the world to me.”
