The French film Emilia Perez, featuring Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, and Karla Sofía Gascón, has gained significant attention.
France's Oscar committee has chosen Emilia Perez as its submission for the Best International Feature Film category.
The film, mostly in Spanish, premiered at Cannes and received a standing ovation, winning the Jury Prize and Best Actress award for its ensemble cast.
Directed by acclaimed French filmmaker Jacques Audiard, Emilia Perez tells the story of a Mexican drug lord seeking gender-affirming surgery.
Selena Gomez expressed her excitement, saying, "When I read it, I thought it was wild. I thought it was beautiful. I cried, and when I did the audition, Jacques didn't know much about me, which I really appreciated because I feel as if he could see me as a blank canvas."
The Only Murders in the Building star praised Audiard's direction, "And he really allowed me to help mold this character. I'm so deeply appreciative and honored to be a part of such a beautiful movie."
