Golden Globes best picture winner Emilia Perez features a musical number celebrating transgender surgery — the most bonkers sequence in a movie that seems to pride itself on piling one crazy scene on top of another.
Netflix’s Emilia Perez sets the sequence in a Bangkok clinic, with actress Zoe Saldana playing a lawyer who is educating herself on sex-change operations that turn a “penis to vagina.” The musical number comes about 20 minutes into the movie.

Emilia Pereztook home the Golden Globes award for best picture comedy or musical on Sunday. It also won two other prizes for supporting actress Zoe Saldana and best non-English language movie.
The French-produced, mostly Spanish-language movie tells the story of a Mexican cartel boss who attempts to escape the drug trade by undergoing a sex-change operation to become a “woman.” Real-life transgender actor Karla Sofía Gascón — a biological man who identifies as a woman — plays the title role.
Gascón was tipped to win a best actress prize on Sunday, but Demi Moore prevailed for her performance in the body-horror movie The Substance.
Emilia Perezis widely expected to score multiple Academy Award nominations this week, with Netflix’s formidable publicity machine ratcheting up the buzz around the Jacques Audiard-directed movie.
