The Oscars were full of virtue signaling.

Between Conan O’Brien’s weak monologue to Jimmy Kimmel’s lame shots at FLOTUS, the award shows left a lot to be desired.

But there was one great moment thanks to Irish actress Jessie Buckley.

She won the Oscar for her role in Hamnet, in which she played William Shakespeare’s wife Agnes who experiences a devastating loss.

Her acceptance speech was beautiful and focused on motherhood.

Bravo!
