Michelle Williams vandt sin første Emmy Adwards i nat for sin hovedrolle i kategorien ‘Limited Series or Movie’.
Det var for sin rolle som Gwen Verdon i Fosse/Verdon, at Michelle Williams rendte med den prestigefyldte pris. Men da Michelle skulle levere sin takketale, var den alt andet end klassisk.
Michelle langede ud efter arbejdsforholdene i USA, og hun kom med en meget personlig opsang, fordi hun oplever, at arbejdsmiljøerne for kvinder og marginaliserede grupper i samfundet er enormt usunde og uretfærdige.

Hør Michelle Williams’ opsang lige her:
“When I asked for more dance classes, I heard ‘Yes.’ More voice lessons, ‘Yes,’” she said of her time working on Fosse/Verdon. “A different wig, a pair of fake teeth that weren’t made out of rubber, ‘Yes.’ And all of these things, they require effort, and they cost more money, but my bosses never presumed to know better than I did about what I needed in order to do my job and honor Gwen Verdon”, lyder ordene fra Michelle Williams.
