What was 'Griselda' all about?

Fans were confident that Sofia Vergara would be taking the trophy for the 'Best Actress,' given her extraordinary performance in Netflix's biographical crime series 'Griselda.' The show depicted Colombian drug trafficker Griselda Blanco, who became one of the most influential leaders in the drug trade throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Blanco, who was notorious for her vicious tactics, played a significant part in the Miami Cocaine Wars, which was a series of deadly clashes between cocaine gangs.

With her Colombian ancestry and impressive acting prowess, Vergara captivated fans in 'Griselda,' adding an authentic layer to the series that was the total opposite of her comedic performance in 'Modern Family.'.
