Zoë Saldaña reached a career milestone at Sunday night’s Golden Globes, winning her first award for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture. The honor came for her role in Emilia Pérez. Saldaña marked the occasion with an emotional acceptance speech, filled with gratitude for her co-stars, nominees, and family.

“Oh my God,” Saldaña began her speech, as reported by Elle. “I know I don’t have much time, and I have dyslexia, so I tend to forget when I’m really anxious, and I’m filled with adrenaline, but my heart is full of gratitude. Thank you so much to the Golden Globes for celebrating our film and honoring the women of Emilia Pérez. Thank you so much.”

She went on to express her appreciation for her co-stars Selena Gomez and Karla Sofía Gascón, as well as director Jacques Audiard. Turning to the other nominees, Saldaña shared a moment of camaraderie.

“I’m in awe of you, your strength, your complexity, your undeniable talent,” she said, choking up. “I know that it is a competition, but all that I have witnessed is just us showing up for each other and celebrating each other, and it’s just so beautiful.

Saldaña also name-checked some of her category peers, adding personal anecdotes and humor to her heartfelt remarks.

“So Selena [Gomez], Ariana [Grande], Margaret [Qualley], Felicity [Jones], Isabella [Rossellini]—I had lunch one time at your house, and it was like, I thought I had made it already, but—you’re magic. You’re all magic, and I experienced this kind of magic on the set of Emilia Pérez.”

She also thanked Audiard for entrusting her with the role of Rita. “You created rich and complex characters, and you’re so French and so chic and confident and kind! I love it!” she said.

Saldaña concluded her speech by thanking her Emilia Pérez cast and crew and showering praise on Gascón, who played the film’s titular character.

“My Emilia Pérez cast and crew…thank you so much. And Karla, no one other than you could have played Emilia Pérez. No one. Eres única. Eres única.”

Finally, Saldaña turned her attention to her family. “My mom is here, my sisters, my husband, and my sons. I love you, I love you. You guys are everything. Thank you!” she said, wrapping up her moment in the spotlight.
