Mikey won Best Actress last year for Anora and used her speech to pay tribute to the sex worker community, saying, “The women I’ve had the privilege of meeting from that community has been one of the highlights of this entire incredible experience.”
Here’s her full speech from last year (via Elle):
“This is very surreal. I’m nervous. I’m gonna read off of a paper, but thank you so much to the Academy. 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. Thank you, Neon, Film Nation, Universal. Thank you to my incredible family, my mom and my dad and my sister and my little brother, and my twin brother, Miles—thank you for being my best friend, not that you have a choice…Thank you, Brighton Beach, for lending us your beautiful backdrop and incredible community…I also just want to again recognize and honor the sex worker community. 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 has been one of the highlights of this entire incredible experience. I also just want to recognize the thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful, breathtaking work of my fellow nominees. I’m honored to be recognized alongside all of you. This is a dream come true; I’m probably gonna wake up tomorrow. Thank you so much to Sean [Baker]. I adore you. This is all because of you. Thank you.”
