For their work in Emilia Pérez, Clément Ducol and Camille are the winners of this year’s best original song Golden Globe Award for “El Mal” — and they made sure to give a shoutout to star Zoe Saldaña, one of the performers of the epic track.

Ducol and Camille, who were presented the award by Wicked costars Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum, thanked their Emilia Pérez family onstage at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jan. 5. Speaking on behalf of the pair, Camille began: “This is such an American experience!”

“Songs are butterflies, and we need butterflies, even if it’s to denounce the corruption in the world. So first, thank you to all songwriters, singer-songwriters, in the world. Thank you, of course, to the Golden Globes and its members. Thank you to Netflix, to our agents and publicists, and thank you to our Emilia Pérez family, to Karla [Sofía Gascón], all the cast.”

As Saldaña joined the pair onstage, Camille continued: “Zoe, I’m dyslexic too, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, Édgar Ramírez, and, of course, Jacques Audiard… Thank you. He’s such a visionary artist. You made us grow as artists and as persons. And thank you to all the all the people that put all their hearts and soul and and time and money into into this movie.”

Next highlighting Saldaña and Gascón, “‘El Mal’ wouldn’t be what it is without your performance. You just should shake the house, and shake our souls. Salud,” Camille added.

Also nominated in the original song category were Miley Cyrus, Andrew Wyatt and Lykke Li for The Last Showgirl’s “Beautiful That Way”; Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Luca Guadagnino for Challengers’ “Compress / Repress”; Robbie Williams, Freddy Wexler and Sacha Skarbek for Better Man’s “Forbidden Road”; and Maren Morris, Delacey, Jordan K. Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Michael Pollack and Ali Tamposi for The Wild Robot’s “Kiss the Sky.”

Composer Clément Ducol and singer-songwriter Camille teamed up to write the songs in Emilia Pérez, a musical thriller set in Mexico and sung largely in Spanish despite the fact that both artists are French.

The duo co-wrote “El Mal,” Saldaña’s indictment of corrupt members of society, with the film’s French writer-director Jacques Audiard. The romantic and defiant “Mi Camino” is sung in the film by Selena Gomez, joined by Édgar Ramírez.

Upon earning her Globe nod for “Beautiful That Way,” Cyrus, 32, thanked The Last Showgirl star Pamela Anderson in an social media post on Dec. 12. “I am continuing to root for her; it’s so fun to watch her shine,” Cyrus wrote of Anderson, also nominated at this year’s Globes for her lead performance in the Gia Coppola-directed film.

The Grammy winner wrote the ballad alongside American musician Andrew Wyatt (a previous Globe winner for “Shallow” from 2018’s A Star Is Born and nominee for both “Dance the Night” and “I’m Just Ken” from last year’s Barbie) and Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li, a first-time nominee. Cyrus was last recognized at the Globes in 2009 for original song “I Thought I Lost You” in the movie Bolt.

“Compress / Repress,” from director Guadagnino and composer producers Reznor and Ross, sets the sexy tone of Zendaya-starring tennis drama Challengers. The latter duo were also nominated by the HFPA for their original score; between the score and original song categories, Reznor and Ross have earned multiple Globes and Oscars in the past, for movies including The Social Network, Mank and Soul.

Better Man, a musical biopic about the life and career of Williams, 50, makes the British singer-songwriter a first-time Globe nominee. “Forbidden Road,” co-written and co-produced with Wexler and Skarbek, joins several of his previous hits as musical moments in the Michael Gracey-directed film — which uses Williams’ voice and stop-motion actor Jonno Davies to depict the pop star as a singing, strutting chimpanzee.

Musicians Delacey, Jordan K. Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Pollack and Tamposi all pitched in to write The Wild Robot’s inspiring tune “Kiss the Sky,” as did Morris, 34, who sings it in the film. The Chris Sanders-created animated hit, adapted from Peter Brown’s novel about a robot befriending an island’s wildlife, features the voices of Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor and more.
