For Filipinos, veteran actress Dolly de Leon‘s nomination in the prestigious Golden Globe Awards is still worth a toast.
The “Triangle of Sadness” actress was among those gunning for the nomination of the Best Supporting Actress for Motion Picture award in the 80th edition of the award ceremony.

Despite this, Dolly’s name continued to trend on local Twitter as her fellow Pinoys cheered her nomination for the international accolades.
“Still proud of you, hunty Dolly de Leon. To be nominated alone in the prestigious #GoldenGlobes is by itself already a victory..” a Filipino wrote with clapping and raised hands emojis.
