While accepting the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress, Zoe Saldaña dedicated the award to the person who inspired her to take on the role—her trans nephew. “I’m dedicating all of these awards and the film ‘Emilia Pérez’ to my nephew, Eli. He is the reason — they are the reason — I signed up to do this film in the first place,” she told them. “So as the proud aunt of a trans life, I will always stand with my community of trans people.” Swipe 👉🏾 to see a clip from Saldaña’s speech in the winners room. #zoesaldana #emiliaperez #bafta #shadowandact
