Bill Maher Says ‘Emilia Pérez’ Lost to ‘Anora’ at the Oscars Because of ‘Cancel Culture’: ‘It Was the Front Runner’
Bill Maher says 'cancel culture' is the reason 'Emilia Pérez' lost to 'Anora' at the Oscars.
While talking with author and comedian David Sedaris on the latest episode of “Real Time,” Maher explained that “cancel culture” was a big factor in deciding the latest class of Academy Award winners, especially when it comes to “Emilia Pérez” and its star Karla Sofía Gascón. Maher said that Gascón’s tweets were “a little childlike” and ” a little Kanye-esque, just whatever’s on the brain comes out,” in reference to Kanye West’s history with controversial social media posts. “Emilia Pérez” didn’t go home empty handed either, winning best supporting actress and best original song.
