The female ensemble of Jacques Audiard’s crime musical Emilia Pérez — Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón and Adriana Paz — received the best actress honor at the prestigious 2024 Cannes Film Festival gala ceremony Saturday night (May 25).
“Women together — that’s something we wanted to honor when we made this award,” Cannes jury president and Barbie director Greta Gerwig said of the shared win, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Each of them is a standout, but together transcendent.”
In a groundbreaking moment for the trans community, Emilia Pérez star Gascón, who accepted the ensemble cast’s award with a tearful speech, is the first transgender actress to win at Cannes. The Spanish-language musical/crime pic about a Mexican drug lord (Gascón) embracing her true identity as a woman also received the jury prize at this year’s festival.
Gomez was in Cannes for the film’s premiere, press and photo calls earlier in the week, but not in attendance at Saturday’s gala. She portrays the wife of Gascón’s character in the film.
The singer-actress got the news of the win through a phone call from co-star Saldaña. “When @zoesaldana told me we all won best actress!!” Gomez captioned an Instagram Story reaction video, in which she’s seen sitting outdoors, and in which her excitement is palpable.
The Palme d’Or, the festivals’s top honor, was given to Sean Baker’s Anora. The Grand Prix went to Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light. Mohammad Rasoulof’s The Seed of the Sacred Fig received a special award from the jury, and Jesse Plemmons won best actor for his work in Yorgos Lanthimos‘ Kinds of Kindness.
George Lucas was presented with an honorary Palme d’Or on Saturday, for his contribution to cinema since 1971, when his directorial debut, THX-1138, received a nod in the Directors’ Fortnight section at Cannes.

Fallen Idols, a four-part documentary exploring the “lives and controversies” of Nick and Aaron Carter, premieres on Investigation Discovery on Monday (May 27).
The docuseries delves into the Carter’s music careers, relationships and the “tragedies and headline-making events of the past few years” including sexual assault allegations against Nick brought on by three women: Ashley Repp, Shannon “Shay” Ruth and Melissa Schuman of the girl group Dream.
Repp, Ruth and Schuman appear in the documentary, which also chronicles the “intense backlash” they endured from speaking out and how their lives have been impacted.
Schuman first went public with rape allegations in 2017. She accuses Nick of raping her in 2003 and filed a lawsuit against him in 2023. Repp, who accuses Nick of sexually assaulting her in 2001, sued him for sexual battery in 2022. Ruth sued in 2022 accusing Nick of raping her when she was 15 years old.

Six years after the death of Avicii, the producer is getting a SiriusXM channel centered around his catalog.
On Thursday (May 23), SiriusXM announced Avicii Radio, now available exclusively via the SiriusXM app. The channel features Avicii classics, remixes and never-before-heard music from past live performances.
The channel will also play music by the producer’s friends, influences and collaborators including Nicky Romero, Armin van Buuren, Laidback Luke and Aloe Blacc, who famously delivered the vocals on Avicii’s biggest hit, “Wake Me Up” — which was also the first song played on the channel.
The channel launches in conjunction with Mental Health Month and aims to uplift listeners with music. Avicii Radio is being produced in collaboration with the Tim Bergling Foundation, which was created by his family in the wake of the artist’s 2018 suicide. The channel will also include programming that highlights events and concerts in Stockholm benefitting the Tim Bergling Foundation, which focuses on mental health initiatives for young people.
“This is a great continuation of Tim’s relationship with SiriusXM and Geronimo, SiriusXM’s Vice President of Dance Music, who were supporters of his music very early on in his career,” Avicii’s father Klas Bergling, who is also the director of the Tim Bergling Foundation, says in a statement. “We appreciate their interest in promoting the emotional well-being of young people and of the Tim Bergling Foundation and its goals.”
“Tim and I had a special friendship dating back to his early career,” adds SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer Scott Greenstein, “so to work with his family to observe and celebrate his legacy through music with Avicii Radio is something I am personally excited about and honored to bring to our listeners.”
