LOS ANGELES, March 2 (Reuters) - Zoe Saldana won the Oscar for best supporting actress on Sunday for her role as a Mexico City lawyer and fixer for a former drug lord in the crime drama and musical "Emilia Perez."
It was the first Oscar win for the 46-year-old Saldana and was preceded by wins at the Golden Globes and BAFTA and SAG awards this year for the same role.
Saldana helps the drug lord fake his death and then get gender-affirming surgery so that Emilia Perez can become a woman, played by Spain's Karla Sofia Gascon. In return, she is given a large sum of money.
She also sings the song "El Mal" in which she criticizes the rich at a charity gala.
Saldana has starred in some of the highest-grossing films including "Avatar" and "Guardians of the Galaxy."
