It’s no secret that Heidi Klum stole the show during the Golden Globes red carpet, even though she didn’t wear the trending color. But during the ceremony, it was Zoe Saldaña’s speech that left a memorable impression. 

Tonight, television’s biggest stars gathered at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles for the 82nd annual Golden Globes. During the ceremony, Saldaña won the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for playing Rita Mora Castro in Emilia Pérez. The 46-year-old actress delivered an emotional speech where she gushed over her co-stars.

“My heart is full of gratitude,” Saldaña said during the speech. “Thank you so much to the Golden Globes for celebrating our film and honoring the women of Emilia Pérez.”

She continued, “I’m so blessed that I’m sharing this moment with [Selena Gomez] and [Karla Sofía Gascón] and [director Jacques Audiard] and all of my fellow nominees.”

Saldaña was nominated against Gomez for Emilia Pérez, Ariana Grande for Wicked, Felicity Jones for The Brutalist, Margaret Qualley for The Substance and Isabella Rossellini for Conclave.
