James Cameron has praised Avatar star Zoe Saldaña after she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the 97th Academy Awards. She picked up the gong for her role as lawyer Rita Mora Castro in Emilia Perez, Netflix's surprise musical hit.
"I was so happy to see Zoe acknowledged as the world-class performer we, in the Avatar family, have always known her to be," he told Variety. "Her acceptance speech was a noble reminder of what immigrant families bring to the US and to Hollywood."
