She also thanked her children, Jackson and August. "I am so honoured and so humbled to work with such an epic visionary. I want to thank my beautiful son Jackson, who put a smile on my face every day as he was with me while I
made this film... I accept this award on behalf of my own little Furiosa, my daughter August, and on behalf of all the Furiosas out there - you are the true warriors," she said.
