Zendaya has been making headlines not only for this contest but also for her recent Hollywood ventures.

The event, part of an awards push organized by FYC (For Your Consideration), celebrated her standout performances in both films.
In Challengers, directed by Luca Guadagnino, Zendaya played Tashi Duncan, a tennis prodigy navigating a complex love triangle. She discussed the challenges of portraying Tashi in an interview with USA Today:
“She’s never given herself a moment to grieve… and I think that’s an experience a lot of women feel, especially Black women—having to present to the world as strong all the time.”
