America Ferrera Accepts SeeHer Award at 2024 Critics Choice Awards with Moving Speech: 'We Are All Worthy'

Ferrera received the SeeHer award at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards for her advocacy for gender equality and portrayal of authentic, stereotype-defying characters.

Robbie, 33, introduced Ferrera, 39, with a touching speech about how the Superstore actress has impacted the film and television industry by telling stories about complex women. "Thank you for proving through your incredible mastery as a filmmaker that women's stories have no difficulty achieving cinematic greatness and box office history at the same time," Ferrera said to the director.
