French composer duo Clément Ducol and Camille took home the original song award at the Oscars on Sunday for their track, “El Mal.” In January, “El Mal” earned the pair a Golden Globe in the same category.

El Mal,” the show-stopping number sung by Zoe Saldaña in Netflix’s “Emilia Perez,” won the best song Oscar Sunday night for French songwriters Camille and Clément Ducol and their co-writer, the film’s director Jacques Audiard.

Emilia Pérez was already the villain of the 2025 Oscars, but songwriter and French singer Camille Dalmais didn’t help her film’s reputation when she started singing, unprompted, during her acceptance speech for Best Original Song.

Zoe Saldaña won the Academy Award for best supporting actress for her performance in the Spanish-language musical “Emilia Pérez.” She plays Rita, a downtrodden Mexico City lawyer who decides to accept an offer to help Emilia Pérez, a drug cartel boss played by Karla Sofía Gascón, set up a new life after receiving gender-affirming surgery.

Zoe Saldaña took home her first Oscar, a best supporting actress nod for her role in “Emilia Pérez.” Now she can also say she’s also the singer of an Oscar-winning song: “El Mal,” marking the film’s second win of the night.

We are so grateful,” said Camille, letting out a great “whooo hooo” as she and Clément Ducol accepted the Oscar for Best Original Song for El Mal in Emilia Perez.
