Anyone’s who’s been keeping an eye on the awards circuit this season will know that Frances McDormand is one of the greatest women in Hollywood, who also happens to make some of the best speeches.
And her speech at this year’s Baftas ceremony was no different, but had an added poignancy after many people took inspiration from her winning film, Three Billboards Outside Missouri, for their own political protests in recent weeks.
The 60-year-old took the time in her speech to let the public know that she recognised and applauded the ‘positive public discourse’ which the film has inspired.
