“This means so much to me,” said Spencer. “I’m gonna dedicate this to the downtrodden, the under-served, the underprivileged, overtaxed, whether emotionally, physically, or financially.” Spencer said she would also dedicate her award to civil rights leader, Medgar Evers, whose murder is portrayed in the movie.
Next up for Spencer are the Academy Awards on February 26, where she is nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
