Karla Sofía Gascón Skipping Critics Choice, PGAs & Other L.A. Awards Events Amid Controversy; Appearance At Spain’s Goya Awards In Play
Karla Sofía Gascón, a Best Actress Oscar contender for Emilia Pérez, won't attend the Critics Choice or PGA Awards this weekend.
In addition, a lineup for an Emilia P é rez FYC panel slated for this Wednesday, which originally included Gascón, has now been changed, with the actress no longer scheduled to attend. In Gascón’s since-deleted tweets, she called George Floyd a “drug addict and a hustler” and the 93rd Oscars an “Afro-Korean festival” following wins by Daniel Kaluuya and Yuh-Jung Youn, among other racist comments. Headlines began to surface after freelance culture writer Sarah Hagi uncovered the tweets on January 30, the same day PGA Awards voting closed; Emilia P é rez is nominated for Best Feature at that event.
