‘Westworld’ Star Evan Rachel Wood Gives Emotional Speech After Bagging Critics’ Choice Award For Best Actress

“Westworld” star Evan Rachel Wood took home the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Dolores Abernathy.

On Sunday, Dec. 11, the 29-year-old actress used the opportunity to thank her 3-year-old son for enriching her life and for always pushing her to work harder, according to E! News.

“First of all, I have to thank Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy for creating and writing this extraordinary show and trusting me and giving me the privilege of playing Dolores,” Wood said while accepting the award. “She gave me a strength I didn't know that I had. I'm forever grateful to you and to our incredible writers and producers and our crew.”

“And to my son, who I love," she continued, “I do all of this for you.”

She also thanked co-stars Jeffrey Wright, Ed Harris, Anthony Hopkins, Jimmi Simpson and James Marsden, as well as “all the incredible actresses I'm surrounded by in this category."

Quoting a line from the show, Wood said: “I truly am in a dream.”

Wood bested other actresses in the Best Actress category such as Caitriona Balfe from “Outlander,” Claire Foy from “The Crown,” Keri Russell from “The Americans” and Winona Ryder from “Stranger Things.”

Wood’s win felt so surreal to her that she shared her feelings on social media. She said she was unable to thank her agent Hylda Queally during her speech, so she did so then.

She also thanked her fans and all those who supported “Westworld” and catapulted it to its current level of success.

Meanwhile, Simpson is so proud of Wood because of her win and immediately gave her a shoutout on Twitter, calling her an “acrobat” when it comes to acting.

“Westworld” Season 2 will return to HBO on 2018.
