As a Spanish-language film starring Avatar star Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez, funded by Netflix, Emilia Perez has been predicted to make a big win at the upcoming Oscars in recent weeks.
Karla Sofía Gascón becomes the first openly transgender actress to be nominated for Best Actress
It also made history as the most nominated foreign-language film in Oscar history, surpassing Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Roma years earlier. Meanwhile, Karla Sofía Gascón became the first openly transgender actress to be nominated for Best Actress.
However, she is also threatening the Academy's reaction to this work. Accordingly, in recent days, the actress's old posts on social network X have been "dug up" and received a lot of criticism.
Most people think that Karla reacted inappropriately by using racist language and hateful attitudes towards the Muslim community and people of color. Many people also noticed that she had posted disparaging posts about Adele's appearance, mocking Miley Cyrus...
Not stopping there, at the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony, which brought victory to many directors and actors of Asian and African descent such as Youn Yuh-jung, Chloe Zhao, Daniel Kaluuya..., she also tweeted that the Academy Awards are focusing too much on diversity instead of the quality of the work.
Specifically, she wrote: "The Oscars are increasingly like a ceremony for independent films and films that demand reflection. I don't know if I'm watching a prestigious film awards ceremony or an African or Korean film festival or a Black Lives Matter march. That gala is also ugly."
The backlash was even more intense after she had previously accused the team of Brazilian star Fernanda Torres - who was also nominated for Best Actress for I'm Still Here - of a smear campaign against her work to get her an award. After Torres spoke out, Karla's side failed to provide evidence and she also apologized to the veteran actress.
Regarding the recent scandals, Karla said: “I want to acknowledge that my previous social media posts have caused a lot of hurt to my audience. As a minority, I understand the pain very well and am deeply sorry to those I have hurt. I have fought for a better world all my life. I believe that light will always triumph over darkness.”
The incident also went further when many people thought that the recent actions of the actress's team were aimed at "dirty media" to get more attention for this film. However, the Academy representative disagreed with this assessment, and still maintained the previously announced nomination.
It can be seen that these scandals will greatly affect the final results, when in the pre-Oscar awards, Zoe Saldana is being evaluated as the most potential candidate for this year's season in the category of Best Supporting Actress.
