During her SAG Awards acceptance speech, Zoë Saldaña expressed gratitude for the SAG-AFTRA union's support of individuality and self-expression for actors. She emphasized the importance of being accepted regardless of one's background or pronouns. Saldaña, who is predicted to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, shared her journey of discovering the benefits of being part of a union that empowers its members. Her role in 'Emilia Pérez' centers on advocating for gender-affirming surgery, further highlighting themes of truth and love.
To be in this room...this is my community, this is my circus... Thank you to SAG-AFTRA. I am proud to be a part of a union that allows me to be who I am.
I am grateful that my mother and father and sisters looked it up and helped me educate myself to know what it means to be a part of a union that protects me.
I've never been questioned where I come from or judged for how I speak or what my pronouns are. Everyone has the right to be who they are.
Emilia Pérez is about truth and love, and us actors really have the opportunity to embrace that in our work.
