Karla Sofía Gascón Set To Skip Spain’s Goya Awards Amid Backlash Over ‘Emilia Pérez’ Star’s Tweets — Report


In the latest sign that Karla Sofía Gascón is taking a backseat on the 'Emilia Pérez' awards tour, the actress is set to skip the Goya Awards.

The Spanish performer was not nominated for an acting prize at the awards taking place in Granada, but Jacques Audiard’s Netflix feature is up for Best European Film. 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. Elsewhere, Gascón pondered that she does not “understand so much about the world war against Hitler, he simply had his opinion about Jews,” and regularly used a Spanish word that translates as “faggot” in English.
