‘Emilia Pérez’ Star Karla Sofía Gascón Not Expected To Attend BAFTA Film Awards; Guest Presenters Will Include Mark Hamill & Pamela Anderson
'Emilia Pérez' star Karla Sofía Gascón not on BAFTA Film Awards attendees list after her racially insensitive X/Twitter posts were uncovered.
It follows Gascón’s controversial social media posts being unearthed by journalist Sarah Hagi last month, exploding a campaign in which the actress was expected to make history as a transgender award-winner for her role as a transitioning drug lord in Emilia Pérez. Gascón wrote that Islam was a “hotbed of infection for humanity,” described George Floyd as a “drug addict swindler” and said that the 2021 Oscars were an “ugly” “Afro-Korean festival” after triumphs for Minari and Judas and the Black Messiah. Here’s the full list of guest presenters: Adam Pearson, Adam Scott, Anna Kendrick, Camila Cabello, Celia Imrie, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Colman Domingo, Gwendoline Christie, Hannah John-Kamen, Isabella Rossellini, James McAvoy, James Norton, Jessie Eisenberg, Joe Alwyn, Letitia Wright, Leo Woodall, Lupita Nyong’o, Marisa Abela, Marisa Tomei, Mark Hamill, Michelle Monaghan, Naomi Ackie, Orlando Bloom, Pamela Anderson, Ralph Fiennes, Simon Pegg, Shazad Latif, Stephen Merchant, Thomasin McKenzie, Vanessa Kirby, Vanessa Williams, Will Poulter, Will Sharpe, Tom Felton, Wunmi Mosaku.
