'No one deserves it more': Blake Lively praises 'sister' America Ferrera for her performance in 'Barbie'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: America Ferrera is getting a lot of love for playing the character Gloria in the blockbuster hit ‘Barbie.’
Most recently, her co-stars from debut flick ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ joined in to admire her incredible skills.
America Ferrera is being considered as a probable Oscar winner
Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn all cheered for their pal and Ferrera herself posted on Instagram.
“💕The Sisterhood came through all in pink to celebrate my performance in 'Barbie' last night. I love these women with all my heart.💕 #SisterhoodForever 👩❤️👩 🧳👖” she wrote.
No wonder, Ferrera is being considered a probable Oscar winner for best supporting actress for her role in ‘Barbie.’
“We got ready together, picked out outfits and jewelry and handbags together (aka raided Blake’s closet), ate dinners together, and drove together to celebrate our favorite sister, America Ferrera, and her brilliant performance in ‘Barbie,'” Tamblyn said.
She added, “I’m so proud of our girl in such a profoundly deep way, and the path she’s blazing for herself, and women everywhere. What a joy to come together in this way, in each other’s arms— the arms we’ve held, and linked with, and cradled as friends for 20 years— in honor of a woman who continues to take my breath away with everything she does, and is. When I tell you some things are forever, this right here is it.”
Meanwhile Lively wrote, “I was so happy to celebrate my denim sister America Ferrera. She’s the heart and soul of ‘Barbie’ because she’s the heart and soul of everything she’s a part of. I’ve known her for 20 years..”

Before adding, “Since I was 16. I’ve watched her live, grow, soar, fall, make, break, push, fight, win, create, forge, disrupt, way make, lead, lead, lead. That speech she gives as Gloria felt as close to real as anything I’ve ever seen on screen. Because that’s who she is. She’s that spectacular, passionate, inspiring and full of heart in her own life.”
“I can’t wait to watch her sweep awards up across her living room floor. No one deserves it more…for a lifetime of brilliant work. It’s one of my life’s honors to witness her show so many women not only what’s possible, but HOW it’s done. I love you sister. Always," Lively continued.

On shooting her monologue, Ferrera earlier told Variety, “There were moments in shooting the movie where Greta really had written something in a very specific way that she heard a very specific way in her head with particular cadence in a particular speed or a particular inflection,” Ferrera said.
“I thought maybe this would be like that, but it was the opposite. She wanted me to completely make it my own and find it as we did it," she added.
