Jessica Chastain calls for a world without violence by consecrating herself as Best Actress
The 2022 Oscars ceremony was held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California this Sunday, March 27. Jessica Chastain won for her leading role in "The Eyes of Tammy Faye."
The 45-year-old celebrity offered an emotional speech upon receiving her statuette and she called for less violence in the world in difficult times: “We are coming out of difficult times, which have filled us with trauma and we have been isolated. Many people out there feel hopeless and lonely and suicide is one of the leading causes of death in America and it has touched many families, and many members of the LGBTQ community who sometimes feel out of place... we are facing discrimination and the laws that are shaking our country with the goal of dividing us more.”
“There is violence and hate crimes involving innocent civilians. At times like this I think of Tammy Faye (her character) and I'm inspired by her radical acts of love. We have talked about love tonight and I am inspired by her compassion and I see it as a principle that leads us forward, ”she added.
Jessica Chastain sent a message of encouragement to those who are feeling alone: "To all of you out there who are feeling hopeless and alone, I just want you to know that you are loved unconditionally for being unique and for being you."
In the category of Best Actress, five of the most recognized in the artistic scene worldwide came: Penélope Cruz for “Madres Paralelas”, Jessica Chastain for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”, Olivia Colman for “The Lost Daughter”, Nicole Kidman "Being the Ricardos" and Kristen Stewart for "Spencer."
