Zoe Saldana Wins First Golden Globe Award

Zoe Saldana won her first Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 'Emilia Perez', a film that has sparked controversy for its depiction of a transgender character. The film, directed by Jacques Audiard, led the nominations with ten, setting a record for the most nominated comedy or musical in Golden Globe history. Saldana's emotional acceptance speech expressed gratitude towards her fellow nominees, including Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande. Hosted by Nikki Glaser, the ceremony was marked by humor and highlighted the ongoing awards season. Despite its acclaim, 'Emilia Perez' faced criticism from the LGBTQ+ community and in Mexico regarding its cultural portrayal. The film's success at the Golden Globes positions it favorably in the race for the Oscars.
