Netflix REMOVES transgender actress Karla Sofia Gascón from new Emilia Perez poster amid controversy
A number of users across platforms such as X/ Twitter said that it was clear the streamer was looking to minimize the presence of Gascón in their Oscar campaigning.
Social media was buzzing on Monday over Netflix's purported removal of transgender actress Karla Sofia Gascón from promotional materials for its Oscar-nominated film Emilia Pérez, a month ahead of the 97th Academy Awards. The film site World of Reel noted that the streamer was 'attempting to steer its $30M+ Oscar campaign for Emilia Perez in the right direction, and this means, quite wisely, ignoring that its controversial star Karla Sofia Gascón was even in the movie.' In the Best Supporting Actress category, Saldaña appears the heavy favorite to capture the honors over fellow nominees including Wicked's Ariana Grande; The Brutalist's Felicity Jones; Conclave's Isabella Rossellini; and A Complete Unknown's Monica Barbaro.
