00:00Thank you so much.

00:03This is, wow, this is so nice.

00:07Do I, I wait, right?

00:08I'm waiting?

00:09Okay. Okay.

00:10Okay.

00:12Okay, I'm over here.

00:15Hi, Jovita Trujillo, Hola USA.

00:18It is so nice to talk to you again.

00:21From one daughter of immigrants to another, felicidades,

00:25and thank you for being a role model for us.

00:27Thank you so much.

00:29So in Spanish, oh wait, sorry, let me record this.

00:32Just the audio.

00:35You know, in Spanish we have the saying, lo que sera, sera.

00:39Now you're standing here with your first Oscar.

00:43If you can go back to any moment of your life and let

00:46that version of Zoe know, this is only going

00:49to make you stronger and prepare you for this moment,

00:52when would it be?

00:55I think it's every time that I went after a part

01:00and I didn't get it, and I cared so much, and I was

01:04so heartbroken for sometimes a day, sometimes a week.

01:08But I got up again, because at the end of the day,

01:11if I don't act, if I don't do my art, then what am I?

01:17Who am I?

01:18And realizing that it's not about the win.

01:22When you learn to let that go, and it

01:24is about the work day in and day out, the day that you do win,

01:29you just have a deeper appreciation for it.

01:32And you feel that you have appreciated

01:34every experience and every moment that has led you here.

01:38I hope that answers your question.

01:40Next question, 298.

01:43Where's 298?

01:46Going once, going twice.

01:48Oh, OK.

01:50OK, we're moving on to 333.

01:57Oh, yes.

01:58Back right.

02:01Hi, Fabian Winter for Bananes.

02:03Hola, soy, espero que podamos hablar en español,

02:06es el idioma que habla Emilia Perez.

02:08Y justamente la canción que ganó el mal dice,

02:11habla, que la gente hable, OK?

02:14Que lo buena paga, lo buena paga.

02:16¿A quién le cantarías esa canción?

02:17¿Y qué dices de la polémica que se dijo tanto en Sudamérica

02:21por una película como Emilia Perez?

02:23Sabes que el arte, el arte no sigue un manual.

02:27El arte lo que sigue es el amor, y el corazón, y la luz.

02:31Y uno querer explorar conversaciones que quizás uno

02:34no entienda.

02:36Y al hacerlas, se traen más voces a la mesa,

02:40y se pueden conversar.

02:42Y yo pienso que eso fue lo que Jaco Dior hizo.

02:44Esta película no es basada en una vida real.

02:48Si tendría que hacerla otra vez, la haría mil veces otra vez.

02:51Esta película es muy importante.

02:53Es una película muy linda, y se hizo con mucho amor.

02:57Y solamente puedo hablar de eso, porque esa fue mi experiencia.

03:02La polémica, claro que dolió, porque tú haces algo con el

03:05corazón completamente abierto, y cuando no se recibe bien,

03:09te quedas muy confundida el por qué.

03:12Pero después que ya lo exploras, procesas,

03:16tienes que hacer una decisión.

03:18Y yo decido seguir mi corazón siempre,

03:21porque sé que soy una persona limpia,

03:23y sé que todas las conversaciones que yo quiero

03:25decir en mi arte, tienen que ver con la humanidad.

03:28Entonces, no tengo ningún arrepentimiento.

03:31Gracias.

03:33Next question, 232.

03:38Front row, 232 on the right.

03:43Stand, can you stand up?

03:45Hi, thank you so much.

03:47Sorry, I didn't see you there.

03:48In an awards season where your talents are duly

03:50being celebrated, what would you say

03:52has been the largest obstacle you've had to overcome

03:55to get here tonight?

03:58I think it was myself.

04:03Yes, there's so many external factors

04:06that can impede on you moving forward.

04:09If you stop moving forward, you know?

04:15I had a hard time sometimes getting out of my own way

04:19and self-sabotaging and thinking that, oh,

04:25trying to believe what others wanted me to believe

04:29or trying to believe what others saw in me

04:31and not listening to my voice.

04:33We have an instinct, and that instinct

04:35that keeps us from falling or helps

04:37us put our hands in front of our face

04:40to protect us when we fall.

04:42That's the same instinct that when you're reading a script

04:44or you're meeting someone and you just

04:46know that you're right for that part

04:48and you know that you being a part of that

04:52is going to be something really special

04:54and you just have to listen to that.

04:56So I can spend so much thinking about all the things

05:02that I don't have that I should acquire,

05:05but I can also think about, fuck it.

05:10Let me just, like my husband says,

05:12throw myself into the unknown and see what comes of it.

05:15And I'm having a lot more fun when I do that.

05:18Final question, 366 in the front to your right.

05:22Hello, Zoe.

05:23I'm Cristina Ibanez.

05:24I'm from Webedia representing Censacine,

05:27which is a Mexican outlet.

05:30I got to say that a lot of things

05:34has been said about the movie, about trans people,

05:38about empowering women, but less has

05:42been said about Mexico, which is the heart of it.

05:45So what would you say about the heart of this movie,

05:51but also about the topic who is really

05:55hurtful for us Mexicans?

05:58First of all, I'm very, very sorry

06:00that you and so many Mexicans felt offended.

06:04That was never our intention.

06:06We spoke and we came from a place of love,

06:08and I will stand by that.

06:10I don't share your opinion.

06:12For me, the heart of this movie was not Mexico.

06:16We weren't making a film about a country.

06:18We were making a film about four women.

06:20And these women could have been Russian,

06:22could have been Dominican, could have been black from Detroit,

06:26could have been from Israel, could have been from Gaza.

06:29And these women are still very universal women

06:32that are struggling every day, trying

06:35to survive systemic oppression, and trying to find

06:39their most authentic voices.

06:41So I will stand by that.

06:43But I'm also always open to sit down

06:45with all of my Mexican brothers and sisters,

06:48and with love and respect, having a great conversation

06:51on how Emilia could have been done better.

06:54I have no problem with that.
