Gomez lost in the category of Best Supporting Actress to Saldaña who was also defeated by the category favourite Ariana Grande, nominated for her performance in Wicked. While many would have expected the Same Old Love singer to be upset or annoyed over not winning, Gomez proved them wrong as she was overjoyed with Saldaña winning, as reported by The Independent.

She stood up and jumped up and down with happiness for her co-star as Saldaña graced the stage to receive her award. The viewers of the award show could not get enough of Gomez’s adorable reaction to see her co-star win instead of her.

Emilia Pérez has received divisive reviews since its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024. While it was a huge hit among the audience, the critics were not a fan. The show has received both five-star and one-star reviews.
