Brad Pitt predicted that a brilliant film career lied ahead of the young Bulgarian actress
The first Bulgarian nominated for an Oscar - Maria Bakalova, did not receive the award for best supporting actress. On the red carpet in the glamorous Sunday evening the young actress looked stunning in her six-meter-wide white dress.
Host of the ceremony Brad Pitt said the 24-year-old Bulgarian actress grew up a big fan of Marilyn Monroe and told her “Welcome”. He predicted that a brilliant film career lied ahead of Bakalova.
She was nominated for her role in Sasha Baron Cohen's movie - "Borat 2", where she played the role of Tutar Sagdiyev - Borat's daughter. The winner in the Best supporting actress category became Yuh-Jung Youn for her role in Minari.
