Zoe Saldaña has experienced a remarkable award season, primarily due to her performance in 'Emilia Pérez'. Following its premiere at Cannes, where she shared a Best Actress win, Saldaña has garnered multiple accolades. However, she faces the fallout from a controversy involving her co-star Karla Sofía Gascón after racist tweets resurfaced, forcing Saldaña to distance herself from Gascón while still expressing emotions about their previous camaraderie. Her acceptance speeches have mirrored her shifting sentiments as she navigates personal and public challenges during this period.
I'm sad. I'm also disappointed. I can't speak for other people's actions. All I can attest to is my experience, and never in a million years did I ever believe that we would be here.
This is a first time for me. And I'm just so blessed that I'm sharing this moment with Selena and Karla. No one other than you could have played Emilia Pérez.
When the movie premiered at Cannes International Film Festival in May 2024, Saldaña was one of four of its actresses to share a Best Actress win.
Saldaña's speeches have evolved throughout this award season in the midst of this very tricky situation.
