Radiating beauty, Brooklynn stole the show as she gracefully walked the red carpet in her stunning crimson gown embellished with dazzling sequined straps.
Causing hearts to flutter, she captured a precious moment alongside her fellow nominee, the talented Jacob Tremblay, who received a nomination for his incredible performance in “Wonder”.
Impressively, despite being just 11 years old, Jacob is already a seasoned red carpet pro, having previously secured the same accolade in 2016 for his role in “Room”.
Overwhelmed with joy, Brooklynn’s excitement couldn’t be contained as she proudly ascended the stage to receive her coveted trophy.
Angelina possesses exceptional maternal instincts, demonstrated by her remarkable ability to care for her own brood of six children.
Let’s embrace: They exchanged an affectionate hug and struck a pose for a lovely photograph.
With her father’s support, she was assisted up the stairs while the presenters directed her towards the microphone to deliver her speech.
Amidst her tears, Brooklynn managed to crack a joke, saying, “All the nominees are phenomenal, let’s go out for some ice cream after this!”
She proceeded to express her gratitude to everyone who had contributed to her victory.
“To all my voters… you are absolute legends, thank you from the bottom of my heart. And God, I am truly grateful for this incredible opportunity.”
A bond through blood: Her loving father came to her aid and lifted her onto the stage.
With the guidance of the presenters, she was escorted to the microphone to deliver her speech of gratitude. “I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire cast and crew who have offered me immense support, as well as my incredible family and dedicated team,” she expressed sincerely. As she continued, she took a moment to address an important cause close to her heart – the plight of struggling single mothers and their children, much like the characters portrayed in the movie “The Florida Project,” where Halley, played by Bria Vinai, does everything she can to provide for her daughter, Moonee, portrayed by Brooklynn.
Directly addressing those who can relate to Halley and Moonee’s struggles, she passionately declared, “To all the individuals out there facing similar challenges, this is a pressing issue that requires immediate action and support. I urge all of you to step forward and make a difference.”
The child’s first acting award, a magnificent crystal star-shaped statue, appeared colossal in her tiny hands as she proudly lifted it into the air.

Notorious for her enthusiastic eating in scenes and her ability to improvise with wit, Brooklynn gained a reputation on set. During her interview with Vulture, she revealed that she was given considerable freedom to express herself on camera, often delivering lines she formulated herself and only receiving a few scripted lines at a time.
Adorably dressed in a sparkling red dress, the seven-year-old actress charmed audiences at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on Thursday. Her delightful personality was evident as she shared how she managed to devour a remarkable 45 ice cream cones during a scene, fully enjoying the treat before it was taken away once filming finished. Many believe that Brooklynn’s exceptional acting skills, particularly her stunning performance in the emotional conclusion of The Florida Project, make her a strong contender for an Oscar win. In this poignant scene, the young star fully immersed herself in her character and delivered a captivating performance, leaving audiences moved by her heartfelt tears.
The star of the evening was Brooklynn, who looked stunning as she made her way down the red carpet in a vibrant red dress with sequined straps.

However, when the camera started rolling and she began crying, he couldn’t bear to watch any longer, eagerly waiting for the scene to finish. When asked about the possibility of winning an award, Brooklynn expressed her gratitude and mentioned that she would love to celebrate with her family at home. She also shared her excitement about her career, stating that she never feels burdened by press events or being on set as it is always a fantastic experience.
Friends: It was such an adorable sight to see Brooklynn wrapping her arm around Jacob.
“I believe it’s all in the hands of destiny, but if I were fortunate enough to win an Oscar, it would bring me immense joy. I would throw a grand celebration, inviting my entire family, and fill my house with decorations and everything to commemorate the occasion.
“Ever since I was a child, I’ve always watched the Oscars, wondering about the emotions that actors experience when their names are called or when they win. However, even if I were only nominated, it would be a tremendous honor for me.”
According to recent reports, the rising star of Hollywood is rumored to be joining forces with Angelina Jolie in the upcoming live-action adaptation of The One and Only Ivan.
The film will revolve around Ivan, a majestic silverback gorilla, who resides in a shopping mall cage alongside an elephant named Stella and a stray dog.
