Dominicans are celebrating Zoe Saldaña’s Oscar win for best supporting actress for her role in “Emilia Pérez,” marking a moment of immense national pride.

I am a proud child of immigrant parents, with dreams and dignity and hardworking hands,' said the 'Emilia Pérez' actor, adding that she's the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Oscar.

When Zoe Saldaña won her first Oscar in 2025, she made sure to thank her husband, artist Marco Perego Saldaña, and his beautiful, flowing hair. Hairstyle aside, the low-key couple have been married for over a decade and share three children, not to mention a last name: hers.
