The actress won her first ever Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her role as Rita Mora Castro in Jacques Audiard’s avant-garde film Emilia Pérez, which became one of last year’s most talked about films after its initial premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

Emilia Pérez also won Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy, defeating notable contenders like Wicked. The film’s lead star, Karla Sofía Gascón, closed the night with a moving speech, marking a historic moment as the first transgender woman nominated for a lead actress Golden Globe.
