Olivia uses her speech to send a message to everyone out there who wants to win their own Oscar one day.

“Any little girl who is practising their speech on the telly… you never know!” she says, adding an inspirational comment. “I used to work as a cleaner, I loved that job but I used to spend quite a lot of my time imagining this.”
