"I'm so honored to be here at Bette Davis's house and just proud that I get to do what I do. I'm so lucky. It's fun, I love going to events like this where I can support my fellow women artists. These spaces that spotlight women and their work are invaluable to the community."
"For this there was a lot more to prepare for, the accent and the songs. I know it sounds cliché but this feels like the win already, just being part of this year and the circuit. The experience has felt rewarding on its own, beyond any potential award recognition."
"Now it's kind of the final stretch of awards season - final boss. I love how much she cares and I love how sensitive she is. The emotional depth of characters, particularly in animation, provides meaningful opportunities for voice actors to explore complex human experiences."
Women in Film, an organization promoting greater representation for over 50 years, hosted a celebration event at Bette Davis's former West Hollywood residence ahead of the Academy Awards. The gathering brought together actresses, animators, and producers nominated for Oscars to recognize women's contributions across the industry. Attendees including Alicia Silverstone, Lisa Ann Walter, and Kate Hudson expressed pride in supporting fellow women artists and their work. Kate Hudson, nominated for best actress for "Song Sung Blue," reflected on her preparation and the rewarding nature of the awards circuit. Animation voice actress May Hong discussed her character's emotional depth in the animated feature nominee "KPOP Demon Hunters." Producer Pippa Harris represented behind-the-scenes women contributors, noting the challenges of bringing complex stories to film.
