Actress Zoe Salda�a claims the golden Oscar statue she won for Best
Supporting Actress in the musical drama �Emilia P�rez� is �gender fluid.�
�We have it in my office and my Oscar is gender fluid,� the 46-year-old celeb told People during a red carpet premiere for her new movie, �Elio.�
Salda�a added that the statue is �trans� and �goes by they/them� pronouns.
�Emilia P�rez� racked up 13 Academy Award nominations this year, but wound up only winning two. The film was a frontrunner early on, but was plagued by controversy, including some controversial tweets that resurfaced from the film�s Best Actress nominee, Karla Gascon, who is a man who identifies as a woman.
Salda�a won Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Rita Mora Castro, a lawyer who helps a Mexican drug cartel kingpin undergo so-called �gender- affirming� surgery.
During her BAFTA acceptance speech, Salda�a called the film a �creative challenge of a lifetime� and said it �defies categorization.�
Salda�a is not the first to declare that her Oscar statue has a gender � or lack thereof.
In 2023, Jamie Lee Curtis announced that she was referring to her Best Supporting Actress Oscars trophy as �they/them� in honor of her 27-year-old child, who identifies as transgender. Curtis won that year for �Everything Everywhere All At Once.�
�I�m in support of my daughter Ruby. I�m having them be a they/them,� Curtis said while getting emotional, per Variety. �I�m going to just call them
�them.� They/them, and they are doing great, they�re settling in, and I just, in my life, I never saw it in a million years that I�d have this couple days, and I�m very moved by the whole thing.�
Ruby Guest is one of two children Curtis has with her husband, Christopher Guest.
