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.
