In reference to her yellow and orange Saint Laurent gown, Gascón emphasized a message of resilience, stating, 'I chose these colours - the Buddhist colours - tonight because I have a message for you: The light always wins over darkness.' This powerful statement reflects the ongoing struggle for visibility and acceptance within the trans community, suggesting a hopeful outlook in the face of adversity.
Gascón poignantly addressed the challenges faced by the trans community, asserting, 'I have a lot of things to say to you because you can maybe put us in jail. You can beat us up, but you can never take away our soul, our existence, our identity.' Her words serve as a rallying cry for empowerment and pure self-identity, underscoring the resilience of the community.
Concluding her acceptance speech, Gascón urged her audience to embrace their authenticity: 'And I want to say to you, raise your voice...and say, 'I am who I am, not who you want.' Her declaration promotes self-acceptance and the importance of standing up against societal pressures, encouraging others to be proud of their identity.
In addition to Gascón's historic nomination, the film 'Emilia Pérez' celebrated significant victories at the Golden Globes, winning four awards, including Best Film - Musical or Comedy. This recognition highlights the cultural shift towards diversity in storytelling and representation within the film industry.
