Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana are generating significant Oscar buzz following their standout performances in the highly anticipated Netflix film, Emilia Perez. The two stars graced the red carpet at the movie’s premiere during the New York Film Festival on September 30, accompanied by co-stars Karla Sofia Gascon and Adriana Paz, as well as Edgar Ramirez and Mark Ivanir. The event also saw the attendance of acclaimed director and co-writer Jacques Audiard.
Emilia Perez, which is a Spanish-language musical, was a major highlight at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, where it captured the Jury Prize and awarded Best Actress honors to the remarkable trio of Karla, Zoe, and Selena. Industry experts, including The Hollywood Reporter, predict that the film is well-positioned for multiple Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director for Jacques Audiard, and possible nods for Best Actress for Karla, along with Best Supporting Actress for both Zoe and Selena.
With the film set to debut on Netflix on November 13, anticipation continues to build. Selene was spotted enjoying a lively evening with Edgar the night before their press commitments. At the premiere, Selena dazzled in elegant Tiffany & Co. jewelry, while Zoe turned heads in a stunning Ferragamo dress accessorized with Marie Mas jewelry.
