Emilia Perez: podcast appearances and interviews

Emilia Pérez is associated with the 2024 Spanish-language French musical crime film titled '2024'. The film was written and directed by Jacques Audiard and is based on Audiard's opera libretto, which he loosely adapted from a chapter of the novel Écoute by Boris Razon. The story follows a Mexican cartel leader who seeks to disappear and transition into a woman with the assistance of a lawyer. The cast includes Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, Mark Ivanir, and Édgar Ramírez. The film had its world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it received the Jury Prize and the Best Actress award for its female ensemble. It was released theatrically in France by Pathé in August 2024. Critics in the United States and Europe generally responded positively, praising its direction, music, performances, and themes, though it faced backlash regarding cultural representation, stereotypes, songwriting, and depictions of transgender characters, especially from Mexican audiences and LGBTQ commentators. Despite the divided opinions, the film garnered numerous accolades, including leading with 13 nominations at the 97th Academy Awards, winning Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña and Best Original Song for 'El Mal'. It also won four awards at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Foreign Language Film, among ten nominations. Additionally, it received eleven nominations at the 78th British Academy Film Awards, winning two.
