America Ferrera, I want you to know that my teenage daughter, who is Honduran, looks up to you so much. You have been such a wonderful role model for her. She even did a book report on your book. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We love you and are rooting for you always!
She raised an entire generation with Ugly Betty, The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants (i wish there was a third movie so that it can complete as a trilogy), How To Train Your Dragon trilogy, Superstore, and now Barbie, what an incredible career she has. So happy for the recognition that she has been getting 🤗

"Gotta Kick it up!" Is the title you're looking for.

I wish they’d make the final book a movie!! Bring everyone closure
She is one facking gorgeous woman! Smart, funny, wholesome, and down to earth. Her husband is one lucky guy!
I absolutely love America Ferreira, I really miss superstore❤
"He plays Tom Hanks very well" - loved that :) PS There's an interview on Graham Norton with Tom Cruise and other actors from Mission Impossible and Simon Pegg said he is Tom, colleague, friend and then he becomes Tom Cruise, smiling and waving to his fans.
America as a country may be divided but there is one beautiful America that we all love together and raised an entire generation 🥰
My cousin and I both spontaneously clapped in the theater when she finished this amazing speech. Absolutely spot on and an incredible delivery. Cannot love this enough. Also, my favorite part of the movie.

We did too in our theater, everyone just started to spontaneously clap when she was done. It was so organic… such a movie !!
The speech in Barbie owes its inspiration to Linda Bloodworth-Thompson, the writer of Designing Women, and the rants she wrote for the Julie Sugarbaker character.
I also loved Americas performance in, The Dry Land and Cesar Chavez. She is simply an amazing, talented actress! So happy for her accolades! ❤
I'm probably in the minority, but her performance was what I liked the most in Barbie

She was definitely given *the* definitive monolog, as illustrated in the opening clip here. It’s really at the nexus of the movie-an iconic scene moment that will be clipped and shown forevermore in montages (and justifiably so)-and she delivered it splendidly. The Oscar may very well go to her, put over the top by that standout segment alone.

You definitely not in the minority at least I don't think so. I was annoyed by all the commercials previews Etc her performance is why my opinion on this movie changed. It just felt way too geared towards teenage and 20 something women but then I watched it with my teenage daughter and the last half of this movie was quite amazing to say the least, especially this

Gloria was the soul of Barbie. It's not Barbie or Ken. Only America Ferrera deserved the Oscar nom. How the bloody hell did Charles Melton not get nominated but Gosling did is like the gravest injustice
I went to see the premiere and it was a sea of pink-clothed and overjoyed people. We all clapped and hooted after she finished her speech. It's hard to explain how LOVED this movie is. It's amazing to hear a packed theater belly laugh. It was beautiful fun.
Thoroughly enjoyable chat!
To this day I remember wishing she were my best friend when I saw her on the disney movie Gotta Kick it Up. As she became more popular and people would say I look like her I always embraced it because she has always been such beautiful person. It makes me so happy to see her have come so far and continue to do so. What a lovely lovely human.
I had a Tom Hanks type experience with William Shatner. I had heard the stories, but he couldn't have been more kind and friendly at a "Meet and Greet" event in 2017.
The America I needed her to be.
I love in the clip America says, "Always stand out" and the shots are framed by Kate doing the splits up against the wall.
I've spent the time wondering what the big deal was with Barbie. Now I know.... America Ferrera is the big deal. Now I must see this movie 😮

I love America Ferrera, from Ugly Betty to Superstore to now Barbie, she is an icon, a legend! Hope she's working on more shows or movies!
She is so real, down-to-earth and the perfect person to have delivered that incredibly well-written speech. AND she's a 🐶dog lover!
This interview is awesome ❤
Best interview!
She's fierce, she's confident, she's articulate. She's beautiful inside and out. I love her! Put her in more movies!! She needs worldwide recognition!
I absolutely love her hair!

Seth, great interviews.
I'm so happy for America, I'm a big fan of her since ugly Betty and the sisterhood of the traveling pants. I hope she wins the Oscar!
When i say im mad at America im never talking about her
Fantastic. Just loved America’s performance and find her incredibly inspiring and talented
She is sooo cool!
Love her so much!!! 🩷🩷🩷
What an adorable human being.
She's great! This was funny!
Love America so much! ❤
America is the best!
she was one of the best parts of the movie!
she got to meet Comet?! Seth, you have to share that photo!
I get it. I saw the TMNT movie like 9 times.
I love you America Ferrera❤
I would have been so starstruck meeting Messi!
I really like her! I bet I wouldn't be disapointed if I met her in real life. She is part of my memories from my adolescence.
What a REAL and wonderful human being. Much love and success to you !
I swear if I don’t see a pic of her with comet during a corrections…. I’m gonna be upset.
I took my little cousin to watch Barbie and she doesn't look anything like Barbie, bc she's latina, but she could see herself in Gloria and her daughter and that made me very happy 🩷
I didn't see barbie
America Ferrera is adorable she's a goddess the curves on her she's painfully gorgeous, that smile is killer
The "Cry Bully" is the New American Typecasting. Relatable to All who find common ground in Grief.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is probably so angry.
Never fall down. Ih well.
I'm more interested in her Leonardo DiCaprio story.
I can see how Tom Hanks influenced America.
this is a great monologue that probably sums it up alright, but i can't really relate to it. was i just lucky in the work place and relationships? does this come with having kids (which i don't have and won't since i am in my 50s)? why do women feel so insignificant and that it's always their fault? granted we got the short end of the stick, but i just just don't feel that way. honestly asking and not for a friend!
She is *MOTHER*
How did this zero get a talk show,.
What if... what if America were the model for women going forward.
I gave a friend a similar speech about being gay in this day and age; how challenging it is to find a partner, how society accepts you; it goes up and down, and how you have to hide behind a personae for some people and act straight, and how it hurts to grow old, alone, missing out on your own family. I didn't get an Oscar nomination. Why? LOL
I’ll never understand why they changed her appearance to play ugly Betty
Barbie was basically Black Panther. Mediocre movie pandering to a specific demographic. If "barbie" wasn't attached, this movie wouldn't have made it's money back.
Overrated movie.
The moment that Barbie character finds out she's the problem, she'll be happier in the Barbie world. When she finally looks in the mirror and sees who's to blame for her feelings of insecurity, she'll stop whining and move on.🥰 *go to rehab hunny, the gist of every 12 step program is designed to make the addict feel and to understand that they are the source of all their misery.
It was an okay performance. She lost eye contact in the beginning of her speech, which is important as a believable actir.

Oh, and that just had to be said here. Troll, you remind me of all of the men who come out of the closet to complain how women comics aren't funny. Do you look for vids of America to comment or do you make comments about women actors in whatever vids they show up in?
Remember when she used to be attractive?

It’s called getting older. It happens to everyone. Your comment is the very evaluation of women that the Barbie movie addresses. Aren’t we fortunate that we are able to mature and have fulfilling adult lives and it’s natural to age?
