Jacques Audiard ’s crime musical “ Emilia Perez ” won a raft of prizes, including best film and director, at the 50th edition of the Cesar Awards, France’s equivalent to the Oscars, on Friday in Paris.

During the 97th Academy Awards, Zoe Saldaña won her first Oscarr for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Jacques Audiard's Emilia Pérez, and broke down in tears while accepting her award.

In a twist akin to some of Hollywood’s best stories, Sunday’s ceremony in Los Angeles saw 25-year-old Mikey Madison take home the trophy for Best Lead Actress, beating frontrunner Demi Moore, who shocked with her star turn in “The Substance,” a gory body horror hit directed by Coralie Fargeat.
