Zoe Saldaña has been a bonafide star for the better part of the past two decades, but on Sunday night, she won her very first Golden Globe. The actress beat out Ariana Grande (“Wicked”), Felicity Jones (“The Brutalist”), Margaret Qualley (“The Substance”), Isabella Rossellini (“Conclave”), and her “Emilia Pérez” co-star Selena Gomez for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role, honoring each of her fellow nominees as she tearfully accepted the award.
