Actress Mikey Madison took home the Best Actress honour for her work in Anora, which headed into the night as a frontrunner in several categories such as best picture and best director.
Madison has also bagged the Best Actress awards this year from BAFTA and Spirit Awards too.
The actress said while accepting the honour: “This is very surreal. I grew up in Los Angeles, but Hollywood always felt so far away from me, so to be here, standing in this room today is really incredible.”
“I just want to recognize and honor the sex worker community,” she added.
“Yes. I will continue to support and be an ally. All of the incredible people, the women that I’ve had the privilege of meeting from that community, have been one of the highlights of this incredible experience.” (IANS)
