Golden Globes 2025: Zoe Saldaña Tears Up as She Wins Best Supporting Actress Award for Emilia Pérez

2025’s Golden Globe Ceremony began at The Beverly Hilton Hotel, Los Angeles, on January 5th, with Zoe Saldaña being honored as the Best Supporting Actress in a Movie for her role as Emilia Perez. (This version aims to simplify and make the sentence more conversational while maintaining its original meaning.)

Winning the Golden Globe at her very first nomination was a truly memorable experience for the actress.

Accepting the honor for the Spanish-language film that received 10 nominations at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, Saldaña – accompanied by her mother – graciously acknowledged her appreciation towards the show for recognizing her movie and acknowledging the remarkable women of Emilia Perez.

For the very first time, I find myself in this incredible moment alongside Selena, Karla, Jack, and Emilia Pérez ensemble, as well as my fellow nominees. I am incredibly fortunate to be here with each of you. Your resilience, your depth, and your extraordinary talent leave me in awe.

Saldaña found it difficult to conceal her emotions or steady her trembling voice as she pointed out that, even though the Globes were a contest, what she’d seen instead was the women in her category supporting one another and cheering each other on.

In simpler terms, for those less familiar, Saldaña portrays Rita, a Mexico City attorney who often feels undervalued. Her character is recruited by a cartel leader, played by Karla Sofía Gascón, to aid them in transitioning smoothly into a genuine and legitimate lifestyle. Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz are also part of the movie’s cast.

In the category of Best Supporting Actor, there were five other contenders: Selena Gomez as Emilia Pérez, Ariana Grande as Wicked, Felicity Jones as The Brutalist, Margaret Qualley as The Substance, and Isabella Rossellini as Conclave. (Note that a mistake seems to have been made in the original text, as it lists actresses instead of actors.)

The 2025 Golden Globe Awards is being hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser and is airing live on CBS.
