The speeches of the actresses awarded at the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards have become a global media event that, thanks to its virality, has managed to greatly amplify the feminist messages in them. They are entertainment content with a very strong replication capacity in the media and the social media, great popular repercussion and substantial contribution to mainstream feminism, neoliberal feminism or post-feminism. Through the analysis of two of those discourses with the conceptual tools of decolonial feminism, we aim to explore the limits of the emancipatory potential of such discourses’ feminism. The goal is to highlight the mechanisms that lighten the political potential of these feminist messages and discover which aspects of them are enhanced and which are eliminated.
