00:00Hi, it's Olivier Philippe from Disney Plus, France.
00:11First of all, maybe to you, Jacques, are you not a little bit tired to win so many awards all over the world?
00:19And is this particular award, the Oscar, any special for you?
00:30It's absolutely special for me because it's recognizing something I've only done once in my life, which is write three lyrics for a song.
00:46May I quickly ask something to Camille?
00:50Camille, it's pretty the first time that you are scoring for film.
00:58Do you want to continue in that path and do you intend to do it here in Hollywood or do you plan to come back to France?
01:08I mean, that adventure has proved that France and Hollywood are in the same world.
01:14There are no boundaries when you're being creative.
01:17So I'm absolutely open to scoring again for any inspiring project that will come to me.
01:26Great, next question for 315.
01:34Hello, congratulations. I'm with Rolling Stone.
01:38We're in an era of anti-trans political attacks and there was no mention tonight of the trans community.
01:45Would you like to say anything at this point?
01:47Since I didn't win Best Film or Best Director, I didn't have the opportunity to speak.
02:08But had I had that opportunity, I would have spoken up.
02:13Next question is virtual. Please look into the camera. Arise Play, Judith Da Silva.
02:22Good evening, Judith Da Silva, Arise Play.
02:25First of all, congratulations on your victory.
02:28I have to ask my question in English for the Nigerian viewers.
02:34Jack, you said that in our roundtable discussion, you didn't watch musicals or have a particular interest in them.
02:43That's why you were able to write your own rulebook for Emilia Perez.
02:47What satisfaction do you get from knowing that having thrown out the rulebook on such a traditional genre,
02:53it has been embraced and celebrated and rewarded tonight?
03:03Well, it's more of an encouragement to the insolence.
03:14But when I say that, I'm a little too radical.
03:17What I generally say, and it's true, is that the musicals that touch me, that even upset me,
03:24are the musicals that are, in quotation marks, political.
03:28It's Cabaret, it's Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, it's Air.
03:33Because I believe that the song, the lyric, can transcend the historical and make it better.
03:49Well, it's an encouragement to be insolent.
03:52But when I say that, perhaps I'm being a little too radical.
03:56You know, I've often said that the musicals that touch me and that even overwhelm me emotionally
04:01are ones that are political.
04:03Cabaret, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Air.
04:06I think that there's something about lyrics and song that allow us to transcend the historical.
04:15Final question. It's virtual. Spartan Echo, Malik Davis.
04:21Yes, hello. Congratulations again. My name is Malik Davis from Spartan Echo.
04:24We're in the second day of Women History Month.
04:27I want to know, how did it feel to work with Zoe and Selena on the project?
04:45I'll start with Selena.
04:50Selena is a great icon.
04:54But the song we wrote for her, especially Mi Camino, was for her as a woman.
05:01And she inspired us a lot.
05:05She worked with a lot of humility.
05:09And I felt that in the studio she was acting and serving her character.
05:19Being very open for direction.
05:23Zoe is a very perfectionist artist.
05:33She's very precise.
05:36So she was not in her comfort zone.
05:38And she kept telling me and us that she's not a singer.
05:43And I kept telling her, yes you are.
05:46And she proved so.
05:48Thank you very much. Congratulations.
