Controversy Shadows Emilia Pérez's Oscar Nomination

The controversy surrounding 'Emilia Pérez' star Karla Sofía Gascón has overshadowed the film's success as it heads into the Oscars. Gascón faced backlash after her past offensive tweets surfaced, leading to death threats and her subsequent departure from social media. Netflix distanced itself from Gascón, removing her from promotional materials and ceasing direct communication. Despite this, the film has received 13 nominations, marking a historic moment for a non-English film. Fashion designer Anthony Vaccarello, who produced 'Emilia Pérez', expressed pride in the film's recognition while addressing the challenges posed by the controversy. Critics are divided on whether the film should win Best Picture amidst the ongoing fallout from Gascón's actions.
