"I wanted to take this moment to really say 'thank you' to two women who are standing here beside me," Larson said after accepting the award and thanking the fans. "These are the women that trained me and who were also the stunt doubles for Captain Marvel. I could not have made this film without them, they are really the baseline of who she is. They are the living embodiment of Captain Marvel."
As Moneymaker explained in her speech, she actually grew up with Bennett. "As young girls, we wanted to be just like Lara Croft and G.I. Jane," she told the crowd. "So it's a real honor to be a part of this character and hopefully pass along some of that inspiration and strength that those iconic women brought to us."
"A big thank you to Brie for acknowledging our role in this film," added Bennet. "It's truly a rare acknowledgment, and it means so much not just to the both of us but to the entire stunt community."
