Last night there were the SAG-AFTRA awards, which awarded the Hollywood actors union, the previous step to the Oscar, which are awarded on March 2 (early in the early 2nd of 2 to 3 in Spain). Jane Fonda (New York, 87 years old) received the prize for the entire trajectory. His speech was the most celebrated. The award was presented by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who made it very clear that “even the award for a lifetime, that life is far from finishing.” He defined it as “the maximum icon”, with “Incredible talent”, “Feroz in her art and in her law”: “That woman is 87 years old, please, Jane Fonda, stops.” The Shrine Auditorium stood up to honor Fonda, whose speech was taking more and more strength and ended up in a direct attack on the new administration of Donald Trump, without the need to appoint when acting president.
“This award means everything to me, I don’t know how to thank you,” he acknowledged before his peers. “I love to act. We open people’s minds to new ideas, taking them to other ways of seeing the world, ”said Fonda. “Acting gave me the possibility of interpreting women with opinions,” he recalled, also speaking of his support for unions, such as actors who delivers these awards: “They unite us to the community and give us power.”
“I believe a lot in unions. They cover our backs, ”he commented on the one that she sheltered the actors that night, but of which more than 160,000 members are part. “The community means power, and this is really important now that the power of workers has been attacked and the community is weakening,” he said: “SAG-AFTRA is different, because we do not make a manufactured product, but our work is Emotions ”. He also talked about empathy, and the lack of it in this political system: “We are going to need a large tent to resist what is coming,” said Fonda, to follow: “Many people will feel really injured by what that is happening. ” “Even if they are from another political tendency, we must not judge, but to listen from the heart.”
Fonda insisted on the importance of Hollywood Resist, that he already did decades ago, and that he must be present at complex times like these. He asked those present to see documentaries to portray historical moments and question if they would have the value of the protagonists, of whom they changed the story. “We don’t have to ask ourselves anymore, because we are at that time, and this is no essay. The moment is this. It’s serious, colleagues, let’s be brave, ”he said. “Let’s not isolate ourselves, let’s be a community, let’s help the vulnerable, we project an inspiring future,” he claimed.
