That is why during his acceptance speech for the award, Fraser could not help but break down in tears, admitting that getting the part in the film was a matter of luck, although he said he was honored to have taken the opportunity.

“It took us 32 years to get here, I was in a dark area and they found me there. As the character I played in this movie, as she struggles with obesity and issues, I want you to know that if you have the energy to stand up and go towards the light, good things will happen.”
