# Zoe Saldaña reacts to 'Emilia Pérez' backlash fresh off Oscar win: 'I don't share your opinion'

Despite winning two Oscars on Sunday, Netflix's "Emilia Pérez" couldn't escape addressing its controversies in the backstage pressroom.

## Zoe Saldaña, winner of Best Supporting Actress for "Emilia Pérez", responds to criticism and the 'Emilia Pérez' team's response:
"I don't share your opinion," Saldaña said in the Oscars pressroom. "For me, the heart of this movie was not Mexico. We weren't making a film about a country. We were making a film about four women."

"The film's plot centered around a drug kingpin played by Karla Sofía Gascón, who is desperate to live a different, female life and undergoes gender reassignment surgery. Emilia then becomes an activist in an effort to avenge her wrongdoings as a cartel leader."
