During the 2025 BAFTAs, Zoe Saldaña emotionally accepted the Best Supporting Actress award for 'Emilia Perez.' Her passionate speech was marked by excitement and a hint of panic as she faced a time limit, leading her to utter a few profanities. Saldaña dedicated her award to her nephew, highlighting her support for the trans community, and reflected on the challenges of playing roles with a British accent. Notably, she has had a successful awards season, recently winning her first Golden Globe.
"This is so validating and a true honor, because the very few times that I went for a part with a British accent or dialect coach, I was like, 'This is not going to happen to you.'"
"He is the reason - they are the reason - I signed up to do this film in the first place, so as the proud aunt of a trans life, I will always stand with my community of trans people."
