Emilia Perez star Zoe Saldana was visibly moved as she received the prestigious Best Actress in a Supporting Role Oscar, declaring 'I am a proud child of immigrant parents' as she collected the award.
The star was "floored" by the win for her performance in 'Emilia Perez', and during her acceptance speech at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, she emotionally acknowledged her family and expressed pride in being the "first American of Dominican origin" to clinch an Academy Award.
In her address, Saldana gushed: "Mommy! Mommy! My mom is here, my whole family is here. I am floored by this honour." She continued to express gratitude: "Thank you to the Academy for recognising the quiet heroism and the power of a woman like Rita and talking about powerful women, my fellow nominees, the love and community you have offered me is a true gift and I will pay it forward. Thank you so much."

She said: "To my mom and dad, my sisters, everything brave, outrageous and good that I have ever done in my life is because of you, thank you so much.
"And to my husband, you have beautiful hair, you're just... The biggest honour of my life is being my partner You hung the moon in our beautiful sons, Cy Bowie and Zen. They fill our skies every night with stars.
"My grandmother came to this country in 1961, I am a proud child of immigrant parents with dreams and dignity and hard-working hands and I am the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award and I know I won't be the last. I hope the fact I'm getting an award for a role where I got to sing and speak in Spanish, my grandmother if she were here, she'd be so delighted. Thank you so much."
