Filipino actress Dolly de Leon has won Best Supporting Performer in the 48th annual Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA) Awards for her performance in the social satire drama, “Triangle of Sadness”.
The FAMAS-winning actress shared the top honor with Vietnamese actor Ke Huy Quan of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” in the organization’s year-end awards which announced winners on December 12, 2022.
“Triangle of Sadness,” the Palme d’Or-winning social satire commentary starring de Leon, tackles privilege and greed and is directed by Swedish filmmaker Ruben Ostlund.
In the film, de Leon plays Abigail, a toilet manager working on a cruise ship that gets stranded on a deserted island. Her highly-lauded performance in the film was a homage to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
