As I delve into the heartwarming and inspiring stories of these talented individuals, it is impossible not to be moved by their humility, gratitude, and dedication to their craft. Each nominee brings a unique perspective and life experience to their roles, enriching our collective cinematic landscape.

Selena Gomez is killing ‘em with kindness.

Actress Emilia Pérez spoke up in response to Eugenio Derbez’s criticism, where he described her acting in the movie “CODA” as “unjustifiable.

Selena acknowledged the perspective behind the December 8 TikTok video critique of her Spanish, saying “I get it.” She apologized for any shortcomings due to time constraints, but emphasized that her dedication and effort in making the film remained unchanged.

Why didn’t Eugenio enjoy the Grammy-nominated singer’s performance? It was because he had concerns over Selena’s limited proficiency in speaking Spanish.

He shared with host Gaby Meza on an upcoming episode of the “Hablando de Cine” podcast that he was present with others, and whenever a scene appeared, they would glance at one another in astonishment, exclaiming, “Wow, what is this?

But once the Mexican actor got wind of Selena’s response to the criticism, he had a change.

In a recent TikTok message to Selena on December 8th, I expressed thoughts that were thoughtless and inconsiderate. These words fell short of the values and principles I uphold as a fellow Latino. We ought to uplift each other, not bring each other down. I acknowledge my mistake, and I want to make it clear that I hold your career in high regard and admire your kind-hearted nature.

As a lifestyle advisor, I must acknowledge that Emilia Pérez deserves nothing but praise, not any unintentional disparagement from me. This incident has served as a valuable learning experience for me. I realize if you find it hard to accept my apology, please understand that it is sincerely offered from the depths of my heart.

After all, Selena has always embraced her identity.

In a 2020 interview with Dazed, she openly discussed her background, focusing on immigration and her grandparents who crossed the border without legal documentation. She stated that, without this, she would not have been born.
