Selena Gomez And Benny Blanco Make A Statement At The 2025 Oscars
and have officially arrived at the 2025 Oscars. Their relationship blossomed from a long-standing friendship into a romantic partnership in mid-2023. The couple publicly confirmed their relationship in December 2023, marking the beginning of a whirlwind romance that captivated fans and media alike. Their engagement was announced one year later, on December 11, 2024, with Selena Gomez sharing images of her diamond ring on social media. The "Wolves" singer turned heads on the red carpet at the 97th annual Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. For the glamorous evening, Gomez, whose song "Mi Camino" from "Emilia Pérez" is nominated for Best Original Song, stepped out in a custom blush-colored Ralph Lauren gown adorned with tiny, clear gems. She completed her shimmering look with a classic bob hairstyle and a bold, chunky diamond choker. The elegant ensemble was perfectly complemented by a dewy makeup look and a soft nude lip color. Their red carpet appearance comes after the couple announced their first collaborative album, "I Said I Love You First," which is slated to drop on March 21 via SMG Music/Friend Keep Secrets/Interscope Records. In December 2023, Gomez revealed on Instagram that she had been secretly dating Blanco for six months. Her confirmation came when she responded to a fan account's post that read, 'Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship,' with a simple yet telling comment: 'facts.' She also showed her approval by liking a photo titled, 'Selena Gomez Is Rumored to Be Dating Producer Benny Blanco.' Gomez didn't hold back when expressing her feelings, describing Blanco as 'absolutely everything' and 'the best thing that's ever happened' to her. She continued to gush about their relationship, stating, 'He's still better than anyone I've ever been with. Facts,' and adding, 'He has treated me better than any human being on this planet.' The singer solidified their relationship status by posting a photo on her Instagram Stories, showing her cuddled up with Blanco, marking the official hard launch of their romance. The couple took their relationship to the next level, figuratively but literally, by purchasing a stunning Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills. The couple reportedly closed the deal in December, splurging $35 million on the luxurious property, according to TMZ. The sprawling mansion offers seven bedrooms and twelve bathrooms, providing ample space for the couple to settle in comfortably. The estate is packed with resort-like amenities, including a grand swirling staircase, a library, and a glass greenhouse solarium. It also features a private gym and a swimming pool, creating the perfect oasis for relaxation and entertaining guests. Adding to its allure, the property boasts a rich Hollywood history, having previously been owned by a major Hollywood director. This detail only enhances the estate's prestige, making it a standout among Beverly Hills' finest homes. The purchase is one of the priciest real estate transactions in Beverly Hills for 2024, placing Gomez and Blanco among the city's elite homeowners. For Gomez, who recently became a billionaire thanks to the massive success of her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, this new home is just another impressive addition to her growing collection of assets. Blanco hasn't been shy about his desire to take the next step with Gomez. During a May 2024 interview on "The Howard Stern Show," the producer revealed that he thinks about having kids with the "Only Murders in The Building" actress "every day." "That's my next goal, to check the box," Blanco shared, expressing his hopes for fatherhood. "I have a ton of godkids; I've got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids." In September 2024, Gomez opened up about her own journey to motherhood, revealing that due to medical issues, she is unable to carry children herself. However, she emphasized that she still plans to become a mom and is considering adoption or surrogacy as paths to parenthood.

‘Emilia Pérez' Songwriters Clément Ducol & Camille On Crafting A 'Catalyst For Narrative And Emotions' Through Music
It's not a common occurrence for composers or songwriters to be involved in a film so early on, which is why songwriters Clément Ducol and Camille were thrilled with the opportunity to help craft the story of Emilia Pérez with director Jacques Audiard. The early collaboration was fruitful, as among the film's 13 Oscar nominations, the duo has three nominations for Best Score and Best Original Song for both 'El Mal' and 'Mi Camino'. Emilia Pérez follows Rita (Zoe Saldaña), an underappreciated lawyer, who is approached by Manitas (Karla Sofía Gascón), a Cartel leader, who wants to fake their death so they can transition and live as their authentic self, Emilia. The songwriting preceded the score, as the pair had to aid in creating the story of the film, which allowed for the score to blend with the songs.

CLÉMENT DUCOL: We were involved five years ago, actually. It was a long journey and Jacques wanted us to be involved in the very beginning of the script's construction. So, it was a real gift for us because working with Jacques is such an event for a French music film composer, and the fact that he wanted us to write the script in song, in music, was such a gift. And for Jacques, it helps a lot to move forward because working on a script with songs can act as a catalyst for narrative and emotions. So, for him it was like his movie was already existing. CAMILLE: It was quite thrilling for us to be involved. We were witnessing a story being built under our very eyes, under our very ears. And we've been told along that campaign season by peers that this is so rare, this way to work is so rare and it's such an artist's dream, a musician's dream to work that way with a director. DEADLINE: For the songs, obviously the lyrics have to go with the script and the story, but what is your process for writing a song like 'El Mal'? DUCOL: For 'El Mal', it was very hard to find the right tone for the song because the subject is very harsh and singing in front of corrupted people and was complicated to translate in music. We had written six songs before we found the tone with this rock opera rap song, and Jacques was also inspired to use Emelia's voice in the back. And when we found the tone at first, we had a kind of electronic, smooth, warm arrangement, and Zoe Saldaña helped us to find the right arrangement because her performance was so energetic and the choreography of Damien Jalet was so rhythmic too. We redid the arrangement with a live rock band in studio to give to it more energy and a raw sound and rage. CAMILLE: Jacques told us you've got all these corrupted people around and they're frozen. So, the stage direction has been that from the start and it stayed because it's such a powerful idea that Rita suddenly has the power with her imagination to freeze everyone and they're all waiting for her judgment. DEADLINE: You're also nominated for the score as well. Did that come after the songwriting? DUCOL: Yes, because we needed to write the story of the film with the songs with Jacques. And I like the fact that with the score, we didn't have to hide the songs. CAMILLE: It took us time to find the right direction. We tried different themes, but I think what changed the game is that we realized, of course the themes needed to be strong, but we needed an artistic direction. And we found that the score should be vocal because voices allowed us to subtly accompany the character's journey and not be too invasive. It allowed us to cross genres too. It can do anything with vocals and evoke so many things. I mean a Greek chorus, a scream from the people, the voice of the missing, Rita's breaths, heartbeats… lots of things that can really give a third dimension to the story. We also try to make the sounds from the story overlap in the score. For example, the sounds of the guns when they're preparing for the attack at the end, they build into a rhythm and the rhythm transforms into the rhythm in the score. So, it helps the unbelievable become believable, and it also helps to enchant reality. And that was one of Jacques' first pitches about what he wanted on the movie. He wanted us to enchant the world.
