Emilia Pérez Actress Karla Sofía Gascón Skips Oscar Nominees Dinner Amid Racist Remarks Controversy

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but share my intrigue over the absence of Emilia Pérez star, Karla Sofía Gascón, who made history as the first openly trans woman nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category, at the dinner for Oscar nominees held on February 25 at the Academy Museum. I wonder if she was immersed in her craft or perhaps had a secret engagement that prevented her from joining this prestigious gathering.

Based on reports from People, it appears that Gascón did not attend the Academy Museum dinner with his fellow cast member Zoe Saldaña during this awards season.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that I will personally be there at the Oscars ceremony on March 2, 2025, thanks to Netflix. According to trusted sources like Deadline, they’ve graciously covered the actress’s expenses for her appearance at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.

A well-known Spanish actress has found herself in a storm of controversy due to old social media content that is facing intense criticism. In past posts, she expressed negative opinions about Muslim culture, George Floyd, and diversity, which sparked a strong reaction, causing her to deactivate her X account temporarily and issue an apology, denying the accusations of racism.

In February, she expressed apologies through an Instagram post following criticism, explaining that she intended for her silence to allow Emilia Pérez’s work to stand on its own artistic merit. Additionally, she publicly apologized to those who were offended by her previous statements.

As a connoisseur of life’s finer aspects, I’ve chosen to remain silent in the hope that my words won’t overshadow the film’s true essence – a breathtaking tribute to love and diversity. To those who have been unintentionally hurt during this journey, I extend my heartfelt apologies.

Emilia Pérez continues to be a clear favorite for the 97th Academy Awards, boasting an impressive total of 13 nominations. Director Jacques Audiard, who also spoke out against Gascón’s statements, commended Emilia’s work while accepting a BAFTA award.

Emilia Pérez is now streaming on Netflix.
