Selena Gomez’s Movie ‘Emilia Pérez’ Continues to Sweep Awards
Selena Gomez’s latest movie, Emilia Pérez, has been making waves in the film industry, continuing its impressive streak of award wins. At the prestigious Lumiere Awards in France, often compared to the Golden Globes, the film took home five major awards, including Best Film.
Emilia Pérez dominated the Lumiere Awards, winning not only Best Film but also Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, and a special recognition for its music. The Lumiere Awards are voted on by journalists from 38 countries, adding to the prestige of the event.
This win follows Emilia Pérez‘s success at the Cannes Film Festival, where the film received recognition from the jury and an award for its all-female cast. The film, a musical in Spanish, tells the story of a woman who is, in reality, a notorious transgender crime boss. Selena Gomez’s performance in the film has been widely praised, earning her several nominations and prestigious awards.
At the Golden Globe Awards in the United States, Emilia Pérez continued to impress by securing four wins, further solidifying its place as one of the frontrunners in major film award races. The film’s success at these international events is a testament to the incredible talent behind it, including the direction of Jacques Audiard.
Director Jacques Audiard also made history at the Lumiere Awards, breaking records with this win. It marked his third Best Film victory after The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2006) and The Sisters Brothers (2019), and his fourth Best Director award, following wins for A Prophet (2010), Rust and Bone (2013), and The Sisters Brothers (2019).
As the Lumiere Awards kick off the annual French awards season, the César Awards, often dubbed the French Oscars, are set to take place on February 28, 2025. With Emilia Pérez continuing to collect accolades, it’s clear that this film will remain a significant contender as the award season progresses.
