00:00Ladies and gentlemen, hello, well it's a thank you. It's an absolute honor to

00:09stand here today at Variety's Power of Women to present an award to someone

00:15that truly embodies that spirit, the incomparable Zoe Saldana.

00:23I had the pleasure of working with Zoe on Guardians of the Galaxy and watching

00:34her work was a master class in commitment and passion. She not only

00:39captures the essence of her characters, but also she elevates the entire

00:45ensemble. In Zoe's latest film, Amelia Paris, you will see, hear, and feel exactly

00:53what I'm talking about. She takes on a role that showcases her

00:58incredible versatility and depth as an actress. She is truly, truly mesmerizing.

01:07Beyond her artistic contributions, Zoe's dedication to philanthropy is equally

01:13inspiring. For example, her work with Baby to Baby, an organization that

01:20provides essential resources to families in need, demonstrates her

01:25steadfast loyalty to making a difference and speaks volumes about her character.

01:34Through her efforts, Zoe not only changes lives, but also encourages others in our

01:41industry to do the same. I am proud of you, Zoe. Congratulations, and keep on

01:50shining. Okay.
