In a recent cover story about Saldaña for Harper's Bazaar's February 2025 issue, director Audiard said the actress "doesn’t really have any weak points."

"What really surprised me with Zoe is her energy and her tireless authority. She worked so hard with just extraordinary courage and talent," said the French filmmaker. "Sometimes I simply couldn’t believe it. It was absolutely marvelous."

With 13 total nods, Emilia Pérez, now streaming on Netflix, is the most-nominated film this year. The movie musical also stars Karla Sofía Gascón — who made history with her Best Actress nomination — Selena Gomez, Édgar Ramírez and Adriana Paz.

The 97th Academy Awards will be held Sunday, March 2 at 7 p.m. ET, airing live on ABC and Hulu.
