At the Golden Globes, the operatic musical was the big winner of the night with four gongs, among them best motion picture for a musical or comedy, best non-English language film, Saldana taking home best supporting actress for a motion picture, and Camille, Ducol and Audiard winning best original song.
The Spanish language film also picked up the award for best film not in the English language, having been the second-most nominated title at this year’s Bafta film awards, with 11 nominations in total.
Gascon, 52, who was the first transgender actress to win the Cannes Film Festival Award for best actress, was nominated for best actress but did not attend the ceremony.
The film won the Jury Prize and best actress, which was shared by its four female leads, at the Cannes Film Festival.
The musical film follows four women in Mexico as they each pursue happiness, and sees fearsome cartel leader (Karla Sofia Gascon) enlist Rita (Saldana), an unappreciated lawyer, to help fake her death so she can live as her true self, Emilia.
