Our Superstar Award goes to someone whose talent lights up the screen, whose presence commands attention, and whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. This honoree is a scene-stealer who captured all of our hearts playing Tina Marrero on @thebearfx—yes, this award goes to Emmy Award-winning actor and playwright Liza Colón-Zayas (@lizacolonzayas_lcz). 🌟 ⁠ ⁠ When “The Bear” first premiered, Tina was a tough, no-nonsense line cook. But over the seasons, Liza has peeled back the layers on Tina and proven she has the biggest heart out of everyone in that loving—albeit chaotic—kitchen. Liza brings complexity, humanity, and truth to her characters. She’s our superstar because of her talent, and because of what she stands for: resilience and realness.⁠ ⁠ Liza’s niece, Christina Colón (@kristeena_rita), a chef in NYC, accepted the award on Liza’s behalf. “Since I was a child, I always thought my aunt was that girl and I’m extremely proud of her. As a young chef watching her play Tina . . . it’s so inspiring to me. I love the fact that she’s doing the work. She’s gotten culinary training to master that role and make it more believable.”⁠ ⁠ For the full Power List, visit cherrybombe.com or pick up a copy of The Power Issue, out now.⁠ ⁠ Thank you to @veuveclicquot and @sanpellegrino_us for supporting The Power Awards.
