In addition to Saldaña’s nod, the movie is also nominated for best film, best film not in the English language, best director and best adapted screenplay among others. With a few wins already behind her, the Marvel alum is alsonominated at the 2025 Academy Awards.

Accepting her award at the Critics Choice Awards, just last week on Feb. 7, the actress called the win an “incredible honor.”

“To my fellow nominees, the films this year and the work you’ve all done. It’s breathtaking,” she said. “I will forever be proud to be among you. Thank you to all of you. I can’t see you, but you f—ing rock.”

She added: “Whenever you receive a negative criticism for a role or a film, everyone says, ‘Don’t read the reviews.’ Then when you get the positive feedback, everyone says, ‘Did you read the reviews?’ But I appreciate the role of a critic. I do sometimes. I sometimes read the reviews and I internalize it, especially the really insightful and helpful feedback, like, ‘Her crying is really distracting. She’s in too many franchises,’ or my personal favorite, ‘She’s too blue.’ So I will listen to you all tonight, and I will accept this with pride. Thank you.”
