Youn Yuh Jung
She continued, “and thank you so much for this award. Every award is meaningful, but this one, especially being recognized by British people, known as very snobbish people, and they approve of me as a good actress, so I’m very privileged and happy. Thank you so much to the voters who voted for me, and thank you very much, BAFTA.”
Saying “very snobbish people” directly to British people during BAFTA awards was savage yet very hilarious, making everyone laugh. We can tell she is a legend, and her acceptance speech may be the best awards – acceptance speech in 2021 after Alan Kim’s cutest awards – acceptance speech in the 2021 Critics Choice Awards.
