Dolly de Leon believed to be first Filipina nominated for Best Supporting Actress at Golden Globe Awards

MANILA, Philippines — After winning the Best Supporting Performance award at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards for her movie "Triangle of Sadness," Filipina actress Dolly de Leon is now nominated at the prestigious Golden Globe Awards for the same film. 

De Leon is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the 80th edition of the awards night, alongside Angela Bassett for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Kerry Condon for “The Banshees of Inisherin,” Jamie Lee Curtis for “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” and Carey Mulligan for “She Said.” 

The awards night will be on January 10, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California. 

Dolly is assumingly the first Filipina to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes. In 2019, Darren Criss became the first Filipino-American to win a Golden Globe after bagging the Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series award.
