Speaking about her nomination for Best Actress, the star said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times: ''I am honoured beyond measure by this nomination for a film I love, a film that stands in defence of press freedom, and inclusion of women's voices in the movement of history. Proud of the film, and all her filmmakers. Thank you from a full heart.''
