Charles Molton was recognized for his supporting performance in "May December," and his co-star Julian Moore celebrated his achievement on Instagram during the ceremony.

There have been rumors circulating that Meghan Markle approached WME (William Morris Endeavor) to purchase an award for her Netflix movie after being snubbed by another organization. She hoped that this award would help her establish more connections as a producer. However, the significance of this award led to the decision not to sell it to Meghan. While the CEO of WME has numerous connections in Hollywood, he chose not to get involved.
These rumors come after a source suggested that Meghan Markle may face challenges in her Hollywood career due to her age, being a woman over 40. Despite this, Meghan expressed her pride in the projects she and her husband are working on in Los Angeles, aiming to create content that evokes emotions and fosters a sense of community.
However, critic and correspondent Michael Cole believes that Meghan Markle's prospects in the entertainment industry may be limited, given her age. He argued that for women over 40 in Hollywood, opportunities on screen are scarce, usually reserved for actresses like Dame Judy Dench or Dame Helen Mirren.
Some comments have questioned the practice of purchasing awards, emphasizing the importance of earning recognition through one's work. They argue that such actions cheapen the value of awards and highlight the need for deserving achievements to stand on their own merit.
