How does Zoe Saldaña follow up an Academy Award win? By starring in a Pixar animated movie.

Her kids think one is cooler than the other, and it might not be the one you expect.

“Definitely winning an Oscar, because they're playing soccer right now,” Saldaña says. “They're like, ‘Mom! Oscar is like the World Cup!’ And then my third son was like, ‘What? You got it for supporting actress, right?’ And I'm just like, ‘Oh, Zen. Thank you for keeping me on my toes.’

“But they're always proud of the fact that I'm making an effort in wanting to cater to films that they can watch right now.”
