• Janelle Monae feels rewarded that audiences are enjoying ‘Glass Onion’.
• She has won prizes for her performance.
• She maintains that getting the chance to work on the film was an honour.

The 37-year-old actress, who plays Helen Brand in the “Knives Out” sequel, has won prizes for her performance, but she maintains that getting the chance to work on the film was an honour.

Janelle told Collider: “There is no awards committee that owes me anything. My reward has already come with the work itself.

“I’m rewarded every time I think about working with Rian Johnson. That’s the reward. When I’m working with Daniel (Craig), Kate (Hudson), Edward (Norton), Leslie (Odom Jr.), Kathryn (Hahn), Madelyn (Cline), Jessica (Henwick), Dave (Bautista), Noah (Segan), that’s the reward, right?

“Being in this film is the reward. Touching people. People watching the film two times, three times, four times, that is the reward. You know what I mean? You just go with gratitude and you’re pointing to something that you love and you’re talking about this experience that meant so much to you. All of that means just so much.”

Janelle described how she became quite upset during the movie’s climactic scene when her heroine meets billionaire Miles Bron (Norton) and expressed her gratitude for the cast’s help.
