Rachel Zegler, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, West Side Story

“I got cast as María in West Side Story on 1/9/19. And I just won a Golden Globe for that same performance, on 1/9/22. Life is very strange.”

“Our industry has and continues to have so many important discussions about how to properly represent its audience, and I truly believe our movie just did that. I think I can speak for each incredible person involved with West Side Story when saying we appreciate the support and recognition we’ve received. And here’s to the hope that we continue to talk to each other for meaningful change in a world that is constantly evolving. From the bottom of my heart thank you”
