'El Mal' from 'Emilia Pérez' wins best original song

“El Mal" from "Emilia Pérez" won the Golden Globe for best original song.

Songwriters Clément Ducol and Camille Dalmais accepted the award.

In their acceptance speech, Dalmais said winning the award was such an "American experience."

"Songs are butterflies, and we need butterflies -- even if it's to denounce corruption in the world," she said, before thanking "all songwriters and singers in the world," as well as the Golden Globes.

She ended her speech by thanking director Jacques Audiard, calling him a visionary artist who "made us grow as artists and as persons." She also thanked stars Zoe Saldaña and Karla Sofía Gascón, and said that "El Mal" wouldn't be what it is without their performance in the film.
