Washington was nominated for the best actress in a cinematographic category, faced with a list of solid candidates.

The other nominees understood Cynthia Erivo for “Wicked”, Lashana Lynch for “Bob Marley: One Love”, Lupita Nyong’o for “A Quiet Place: Day One” and Regina King for “Shirley”.

After she was announced as the winner, Washington was overwhelmed with emotion and said that she was “shocked” to go out victorious because of “extraordinary” women against whom she was against.

The excited winner warmly hugged Erivo while she was heading for the stage to receive her award.

In his speech of acceptance, Washington said according to the Daily mail“Okay, you guys, you know, on price discounts, when people looked surprised, I never thought they are really surprised – except Beyonce in Grammys, it was like. .. “

Washington added: “But I’m shocked. I’m shocked because the women I am nominated with are so extraordinary, so extraordinary. I love you so much and I am honored to be in a category with you.”

She concluded: “This is all of us calling in our greatness, so remember your greatness, because that’s what the fight is used for.”

Washington left the scene after his speech to a salvo of applause. However, she returned a few minutes later and interrupted the presenters.
