Jessica Chastain has won the Oscar for Best Actress for The Ey🔯es of Tammy Faye at the 2022 Academy Awards. 

She was up against Nicole 🎉Kidman (Being the Ricardos), Kristen Stewart (Spencer), Olivia Colman (The Lost Daughter), and Penelope Cruz (Parallel Mothers).

Chastain thanked her "scene partner and collaborator, Andrew Garfield, the brilliant Andrew Garfield," and spoke of the difficulty of the last few years, using ꦺher platform to discuss suicide awareness, and legislation and hate crimes targeting the ༒LGBTQA+ community. 

"In times like this I think of Tammy, and I'm inspired by her radical acts of love," the actor said. "We've talked about love a lot tonight. Inspired by her compa𓄧ssion, I see it as a guiding principle that leads us forward. For any of you out there who do in fact feel hopeless or alone, I just want you to know that you are unconditionally loved for the uniqueness that is you."

Chastain plays the titular Tammy Faye in the movie, which is directed by Michael Showalter. The biographical drama chronicles the televangelist's rise to fa𝓀me – as well as her eventual downfall, along with husband Jim Bakker, played by Andrew Garfield (who is himself nominated for Best Actor for Tick… Tick… Boom).

The Eyes of Tammy Faye was nomi🍷nated for two Oscars total tonight – the film was also up for Best Makeup and Hair𝄹styling, which it won.
