Zoe Saldaña says politics-focused questions are 'incredibly limiting' for women and actors of color

At Locarno, Zoe Saldaña criticized press Q&As that disproportionately ask political questions of women and people of color, calling it an 'incredibly limiting' double standard that forces marginalized actors to prove their craft while the conversation centers on identity. She recalled instances after Oscar wins and emphasized wanting to discuss acting craft. Saldaña also stars in Lioness season 3 on Paramount+ and attended Locarno to discuss the craft and inclusivity in film.

Zoe Saldaña pushes back on politics-dominated questions for actors of color and women

Zoe Saldaña says it’s frustrating and limiting when political questions are focused on actors of color or women. Speaking at Locarno, she emphasized talking about the craft of acting and challenged the habit of single out questions about inclusion, noting she’s often the only person of color or woman on stage. She cited a past Oscars press-room moment involving Emilia Pérez to illustrate the broader issue and expressed openness to constructive conversations with Mexican colleagues. Saldaña currently headlines Lioness Season 3 on Paramount+ and was honored at Locarno this year.
