Emilia Pérez, the controversial Netflix movie about a Mexican drug lord who changes gender, generated more media exposure on Monday than it did in the whole of November.

"Emilia Perez," starring Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, and Zoe Saldaña, has been criticized both for its quality and how it represents trans people and Mexican culture.

Zoe Saldaña stars as a Mexican lawyer named Rita, Karla Sofía Gascón stars as the former drug cartel leader named Emilia, and Selena Gomez stars as Emilia’s former wife, Jessi. Other cast members include Adriana Paz, Mark Ivanir, and Édgar Ramírez.

The Brutalist,” “Emilia Pérez,” “Hacks,” “Shogun” and “Baby Reindeer” earned top prizes at the 2025 Golden Globes.

Shogun” was named the best television drama, “Baby Reindeer” best limited television series and “Hacks” best television comedy.

Zoe Saldaña won her first Golden Globe Sunday night for her role in Netflix musical thriller "Emilia Pérez," which has captivated audiences.

Emilia Pérez was the big winner at Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards, taking four categories including Best Musical or Comedy Film and Best International Film. Conventional wisdom is that the windfall skyrockets the Netflix musical to frontrunner status for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Brady Corbet's 215-minute postwar epic “The Brutalist” and Jacques Audiard's Spanish language, genre-shifting trans musical “Emilia Perez” — won top honors at the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday.
