At the BAFTA Awards 2025, Emilia Perez won the award for Best Film not originally in English, outshining other strong competitors. As the winner was announced, Director Jacques Audiard graciously accepted the trophy on stage. In his acceptance speech, he expressed gratitude towards Karla Sofia Gascon amidst recent weeks of debate.
The director conveyed affection towards the actress, after she missed the gathering and rumors of her exclusion from the award nomination process. In his acceptance speech, Audiard expressed gratitude to “all the incredible artists who contributed to making this film possible and who are present here with us tonight.
He expressed his gratitude to the cast members of the movie, saying, “Dear Zoe, Selena, Giorgini, Paul, Juliet, Camille, Clement, Julia and your entire team – I appreciate you all. And a special thanks to my dear Karla Sofia, whom I affectionately kiss. I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished together. Here’s to ‘Emilia Pérez’!
As an ardent admirer, I’ve been following the buzz surrounding the movie that’s now streaming on Netflix. Recently, it’s been in the limelight due to some controversial posts Gascon made on her social media account.
In addition to Emilia Perez’s project, there were several other contenders in the category: Payal Kapadia’s “All We Imagined as Light,” Rich Peppiatt’s “Kneecap,” Walter Salles’s “I’m Still Here,” and Mohammad Rasoulof’s “The Seed of the Sacred Fig.” These projects were all in contention for the award.
Furthermore, Zoe Saldana expressed gratitude towards her co-star, Gascon, following her Best Supporting Actress win. She stated, “I’d like to express my appreciation to my amazing cast, Karla, Selena, Adriana… Movies are intended to stir emotions and provoke thought. I pray that Emilia Perez managed to do something similar, as it’s crucial that every voice gets heard.
Emilia Perez is one of the critically acclaimed movies of the season.
