"Emilia Perez," starring Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, and Zoe Saldaña, has been criticized both for its quality and how it represents trans people and Mexican culture.

Awards-season regulars A Complete Unknown, The Brutalist, Dune: Part Two, Wicked, Conclave, Emilia Pérez and The Substance are among the nominees revealed Thursday for the Art Directors Guild’s 29th annual Excellence in Production Design Awards.

Emilia Perez, the Wicked movie, Kieran Culkin, Jean Smart, and more took home awards at the 82nd Golden Globes. The Wicked movie won the Golden Globe for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Emilia Perez took home four awards,

Emilia Pérez also won Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy, defeating notable contenders like Wicked. The film’s lead star, Karla Sofía Gascón, closed the night with a moving speech, marking a historic moment as the first transgender woman nominated for a lead actress Golden Globe.

Emilia Pérez, the controversial Netflix movie about a Mexican drug lord who changes gender, generated more media exposure on Monday than it did in the whole of November.
