De Leon’s Golden Globes bio calls her a “powerhouse performer” who “identified strongly with Abigail.”
After the film received the Palme d’Or and an eight-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival, de Leon has since won the Best Supporting Performance award from the LA Film Critics Association as well as the Breakthrough Performance award from the 2022 Middleburg Film Festival.
De Leon’s Golden Globe nomination could also be a precursor for recognition at the upcoming Academy Awards. Hopefully this is just the beginning of her climb to the top of the acting field.
