She may not have won the best supporting actress award she was up for, but for Dolly De Leon, being nominated by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for her star-making turn in "Triangle of Sadness" is "a huge honor." At the BAFTA Film Awards in London on Sunday , De Leon lost in her category to Kerry Condon of "The Banshees of Inisherin."
Still, the distinction of being the first Filipina to be nominated at the awards, she said, "means a lot" to her.
