 her designation as recipient of the Golden Globe
 Award for Best Supporting Actress on January 5, 2025

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to honor and pay
tribute to those artistic geniuses whose commitment and creative talents
have contributed to the entertainment and cultural enrichment of their
community, the State of New York, the Nation and the world; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
congratulate Zoe Saldana upon the occasion of her designation as
recipient of the Golden Globe Award on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at the
82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles; and

 WHEREAS, In addition to winning her first Golden Globe Award for
Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Emilia Perez," Zoe Saldana is
nominated for an Academy Award for the same performance; and

 WHEREAS, Zoe Saldana is an American actress of Dominican and Puerto
Rican heritage, born on June 19, 1978, in Passaic, New Jersey, and
raised in Queens, New York; her parents, Aridio Saldana and Asalia
Nazario, hail from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, giving her a
rich, diverse cultural background; and

 WHEREAS, From an early age, Zoe Saldana developed a passion for the
arts, particularly dance, studying ballet throughout her schooling;
however, it was her shift to acting that propelled her into the
spotlight; and

 WHEREAS, Zoe Saldana first gained widespread attention with her role
in "Center Stage" (2000), where she played a talented dancer, but her
major breakthrough came in 2009 when she starred in two blockbuster
films: James Cameron's "Avatar," where she portrayed Neytiri, and "Star
Trek," in which she played Uhura; both films saw massive success,
solidifying her status as a leading figure in Hollywood; and

 WHEREAS, Furthermore, Zoe Saldana continued to shine in major
franchises, such as "Guardians of the Galaxy," where she played the
iconic character Gamora, and the "Avatar" sequels; she has also ventured
into other genres with films like "The Losers" (2010), "Colombiana"
(2011), and "Infinitely Polar Bear" (2014), showcasing her versatility
and ability to portray complex, multifaceted characters; and

 WHEREAS, Recognized as one of the most successful Latina actresses
of her generation, Zoe Saldana is also an advocate for inclusion,
minority representation, and women's empowerment in Hollywood; she
actively supports migrant rights and cultural diversity, emphasizing the
importance of embracing one's heritage and identity; and

 WHEREAS, With her throughout have been her husband, Marco, and their
three children, all of whom feel privileged to be a part of her life and
rejoice in her many accomplishments; and

 WHEREAS, Zoe Saldana's career is a testament to her incredible
talent, resilience, and dedication to her craft; from her breakthrough
roles in "Avatar" and "Star Trek" to her powerful performances in
"Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Emilia Perez," she has proven time and
again that she is a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood; and

 WHEREAS, Beyond her acting achievements, Zoe Saldana's advocacy for
inclusion, diversity, and empowerment has made her a trailblazer for
future generations of artists; as one of the most prominent Latina
actresses of her generation, she continues to inspire audiences
worldwide, proving that success in the film industry goes beyond
talent-it's about breaking boundaries and staying true to one's roots;
now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Zoe Saldana upon the occasion of her designation as
recipient of the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, and to
wish her continued success in all her future endeavors; and be it
