#SeeHer
Presented by the Association of National Advertisers, the #SeeHer Award "recognizes a woman who embodies the values set forth by the #SeeHer movement".

A movement which aims to push boundaries, challenge stereotypes and "recognize the importance of accurately portraying women across the entertainment landscape".

This year, it went to English actress Claire Foy who plays Janet Armstrong, wife of Neil Armstrong, in the upcoming astronaut biopic First Man.

During her acceptance speech, the thirty-four-year-old praised, fellow #SeeHer recipient, Viola Davis who won the prize in 2016.

"I thank the critics very much for this award and what it represents. I’ve got to say that I’ve struggled quite a lot with the idea of me accepting it because I immediately thought I’ve offered nothing and I have nothing to offer.

"It was something that Viola said in that clip, actually, which was the fact that the greatest privilege of your life is to be who you are.

"And I've realised that's all I have to offer, is myself. And all I’ve ever tried to do with anything I’ve ever made and in the work I’ve been in is to hopefully make something which people recognise, that they recognise themselves on screen in some way, that they see a thought or feeling or an emotion or a circumstance and they can see themselves.

"I've had the opportunity to play some extraordinary women for all sorts of reasons and none more so than Janet Armstrong, she lived her life with such bravery and resilience and determination and love.

"I can't tell you how many times, during the making of the movie and in the press tour, that people said to me - 'that part is normally the part of just the wife'. And there's no such thing as 'just' the wife."
