‘Emilia Perez’ Stars Talk Push to Vote After Racist Jokes at Trump Rally: ‘I Definitely Want to Stand by My People’


Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, Karla Sofía Gascón discussed about the importance of voting at the 'Emilia Perez' screening on the opening night of TAFFF.

“Emilia Perez,” an exhilarating Mexico-set musical crime drama, made history after its premierea at the Cannes Film Festival in the summer, winning a collective prize for its ensemble cast of Saldaña, Gomez, Adriana Paz and Karla Sofía Gascón. “I voted today so I’m definitely exercising my responsibility as an American citizen to care for the well-being of my nation, because it’s also my son’s country and it has to be worthy of my children,” says Saldaña, who is campaigning for a best supporting actress Oscar nomination for her part in “Emilia Perez.” Truffart, the longtime director of TAFFF (previously called COLCOA), said the festival’s move from the spring to the fall has allowed it to play a strategic role in the annual awards season, bringing together French talent, Academy voters and Hollywood players such as Hackford.
