Hindi pa nagbibigay ng reaksiyon si Dolly tungkol sa parangal sa kanya ng LAFCA dahil Lunes ng madaling-araw sa Pilipinas, December 12, 2022, nang lumabas ang resulta.
Pero nagpahayag ng kasiyahan si Ferdy Lapuz, ang agent niya sa Pilipinas.
“Ang saya ko nung bumulaga sa akin ang balita na nanalo si Dolly ng Best Supporting Performer.
"Sabi ko kasi noon, kahit either New York or LA Film Critics Award, manalo siya.
"Sana susunod, ang Golden Globe at Oscars,” ani Ferdy sa pakikipag-usap sa kanya ng Cabinet Files ngayong Lunes ng umaga.

THE NEW YORKER BEST PERFORMANCES OF 2022
Bukod sa Los Angeles Film Critics Association, kinilala rin ng The New Yorker ang husay ni Dolly dahil kabilang siya sa listahan ng "The Best Performances of 2022."
Ito ang nakasaad sa ilalim ng pangalan ni Dolly De Leon:
"Ruben Östlund’s dark comedy, like “Tár,” upends social status—but for Abigail, the euphemistically titled 'toilet manager' on a luxury yacht, there’s nowhere to go but up. De Leon, a Filipina actress in her overdue breakout role, doesn’t become a major player until the film’s Hobbesian third act, but once she arrives she’s a ferocious force.
"Her first big speech, at a campfire, is a surprise that leaves the audience gobsmacked and cheering, and her portrait of a custodian turning the tables on the well-heeled is full of blunt humor, carnality, and rage.
"Of the film’s many shocking twists, the most lingering may be de Leon’s ability to show up out of nowhere and walk away with the entire movie. For my money, she should be at the top of the Best Supporting Actress conversation."
Bukod kay Dolly, ang iba pang nasa listahan ay sina Amanda Seyfried (The Dropout), Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All At Once), Jerod Carmichael (Rothaniel), The cast of Severance, Cate Blanchett (Tar), Paul Mescal (Aftersun), Megan Stalter (Hacks), Jenny Slate (Marcel the Shell With Shoes On), at Nathan Fielder (The Rehearsal).
