During her speech which was quite moving, the actress spoke about what she loved about the movie.

"When I first saw BlacKkKlansman, I was stunned. I was very excited, and I was very moved. It had everything a great film should have. It was so real, so funny and yet to horrifying because it was based on the truth, and the truth is especially precious these days."
