Emilia Pérez director criticises Karla Sofia Gascón’s ‘inexcusable’ tweets
Oscar nominee Jacques Audiard has called the social media behaviour of the actor ‘hateful’ in a new interview
After its Cannes premiere, the crime musical Emilia Pérez was picked up by Netflix and since became the most nominated non-English language film of all time at the Oscars, scoring 13 nods including for Gascón as best actress. The Hollywood Reporter’s Scott Feinberg has claimed that “tensions are said to be high” between the actor and Netflix and that she will not be flying to Los Angeles for a long list of events and ceremonies this week anymore.
