Zoe Saldana wins Oscar for Best Supporting Actress

Saldana, who garnered a reputation for water works during the award season, seemed primed to turn the spigot on for the waterworks as early as Conan O'Brien's monologue. While she was emotional, especially when talking about her grandmother, it wasn't necessarily as teary a speech as one might have imagined. Perhaps she had enough speeches on the circuit to cultivate a sense of composure while giving award speeches.

Best known for her work in massive blockbuster movies that bury her in CGI or makeup, Saldana got a chance to showcase her acting skills in "Emilia Perez." Also, she probably netted her cohorts a Best Original Song win through her dancing, but that's a story for another day.
