Emilia Pérez's Zoe Saldaña delivers a tearful speech after historic Best Supporting Actress win at the 2025 Oscars

Zoe Saldana in Emilia Perez.

Zoe Saldaña has been named the Best Supporting Actress at this year's Oscars. The Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy star picked up the gong – her first Academy Award – for her performance in Jacques Audiard's musical thriller Emilia Pérez.

Released on Netflix on October 25, the Spanish-language film sees Saldaña play Rita Mora Castro, a Mexico City-based lawyer tasked with helping a cartel boss undergo gender-affirming surgery and start a new, more authentic life. It is loosely adapted from French writer Boris Razon's 2018 novel Écoute.
