Rachel Weisz: Do not ask actresses what is working with women

Rachel Weisz was the only member of the trio "The Favorite" to attend the 2018 Gotham Awards and took advantage of her acceptance speech to receive a special Jury Award for overall performance for this performance in order to send a powerful message to the press. The Gotham Awards have enabled Weisz and co-stars Emma Stone and Olivia Colman to win the Jury Prize.

"I hope that someday, in the not-so-distant future, we will not be asked what it was like to share the screen with other women," he said. Weisz at the end of his humorous speech. "Because I do not think you're asking men for that. But I could be wrong.

Weisz mocked the absence of his co-stars by taking out cut cardboard masks representing the faces of Stone and Colman. "The Favorite" is co-produced by the three women and most of their press tour since the launch of the film at the Venice Film Festival posed questions about what it was like to play in a female film. As Weisz pointed out, male actors are rarely asked what it means to work with other male actors, so it's a double standard to ask the female actors.

"The Favorite" is Weisz in the role of Sarah Churchill, trusted advisor to Mad Queen Anne (Colman). The arrival of Stone's character, Abigail Hill, sets off a twisted battle to become the queen's favorite. Fox Searchlight opened the film Nov. 23, marking the history of the most successful independent debut from 2018 to present. Colman won the Best Actress Award at the 2018 Venice Film Festival and is subject to the Academy Award for Best Actress. Weisz and Stone campaign for the best actress in a supporting role.

Earlier in the evening at the Gotham Awards, Weisz accepted the tribute of this year's actresses. "The Favorite" is also nominated for Best Feature and Best Screenplay.
