Sally Field shouts out Canada as Trump pushes for Hollywood to end outsourced filming

At the Emmy Awards ceremony on Monday, Sally Field made a special reference to Canada during her acceptance speech for the award she received for her role in the Netflix drama "Remarkably Bright Creatures." Field, who won the award for best actress in a limited series, anthology or movie, took the stage to receive the prestigious accolade.

The film, which was partially shot in Deep Cove, British Columbia, including scenes at the Vancouver Aquarium, highlighted the country's significant role in the production. While accepting the award, Field referred to Canada as "neighbors" and "friends," eliciting applause and cheers from the audience at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

The event also honored Edmonton-born actor and director Michael J. Fox, who was introduced as a "proud son of Canada" before accepting the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award. The trade war between Canada and the United States, as well as President Donald Trump's efforts to encourage Hollywood to shoot movies domestically, rather than in other countries such as Canada, were topics of conversation amid the ceremony.
