00:00Hi, it's Olivier Philippe from Disney Plus, France.

00:11First of all, maybe to you, Jacques, are you not a little bit tired to win so many awards all over the world?

00:19And is this particular award, the Oscar, any special for you?

00:30It's absolutely special for me because it's recognizing something I've only done once in my life, which is write three lyrics for a song.

00:46May I quickly ask something to Camille?

00:50Camille, it's pretty the first time that you are scoring for film.

00:58Do you want to continue in that path and do you intend to do it here in Hollywood or do you plan to come back to France?

01:08I mean, that adventure has proved that France and Hollywood are in the same world.

01:14There are no boundaries when you're being creative.

01:17So I'm absolutely open to scoring again for any inspiring project that will come to me.

01:26Great, next question for 315.

01:34Hello, congratulations. I'm with Rolling Stone.

01:38We're in an era of anti-trans political attacks and there was no mention tonight of the trans community.

01:45Would you like to say anything at this point?

01:47Since I didn't win Best Film or Best Director, I didn't have the opportunity to speak.

02:08But had I had that opportunity, I would have spoken up.

02:13Next question is virtual. Please look into the camera. Arise Play, Judith Da Silva.

02:22Good evening, Judith Da Silva, Arise Play.

02:25First of all, congratulations on your victory.

02:28I have to ask my question in English for the Nigerian viewers.

02:34Jack, you said that in our roundtable discussion, you didn't watch musicals or have a particular interest in them.

02:43That's why you were able to write your own rulebook for Emilia Perez.

02:47What satisfaction do you get from knowing that having thrown out the rulebook on such a traditional genre,

02:53it has been embraced and celebrated and rewarded tonight?

03:03Well, it's more of an encouragement to the insolence.

03:14But when I say that, I'm a little too radical.

03:17What I generally say, and it's true, is that the musicals that touch me, that even upset me,

03:24are the musicals that are, in quotation marks, political.

03:28It's Cabaret, it's Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, it's Air.

03:33Because I believe that the song, the lyric, can transcend the historical and make it better.

03:49Well, it's an encouragement to be insolent.

03:52But when I say that, perhaps I'm being a little too radical.

03:56You know, I've often said that the musicals that touch me and that even overwhelm me emotionally

04:01are ones that are political.

04:03Cabaret, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Air.

04:06I think that there's something about lyrics and song that allow us to transcend the historical.

04:15Final question. It's virtual. Spartan Echo, Malik Davis.

04:21Yes, hello. Congratulations again. My name is Malik Davis from Spartan Echo.

04:24We're in the second day of Women History Month.

04:27I want to know, how did it feel to work with Zoe and Selena on the project?

04:45I'll start with Selena.

04:50Selena is a great icon.

04:54But the song we wrote for her, especially Mi Camino, was for her as a woman.

05:01And she inspired us a lot.

05:05She worked with a lot of humility.

05:09And I felt that in the studio she was acting and serving her character.

05:19Being very open for direction.

05:23Zoe is a very perfectionist artist.

05:33She's very precise.

05:36So she was not in her comfort zone.

05:38And she kept telling me and us that she's not a singer.

05:43And I kept telling her, yes you are.

05:46And she proved so.

05:48Thank you very much. Congratulations.
