Also winning three awards was “Emilia Pérez” (Netflix), for Supporting Actress Zoe Saldaña, who gave a teary speech, International Feature, and Song “El Mal.” All three could win on Oscar night, although “I’m Still Here” (Sony Pictures Classics), also nominated for Best Picture and Actress, is moving up fast. It was a good night for the French.

Anora” won best picture at the Critics Choice Awards, while “Emilia Pérez,” “The Substance” and “Wicked” each took three trophies. See who else won.
