What happens after Karla Sofía Gascón’s former Islamophobic and racist X-posts.
The Oscar nominated in the best leading actress category, Karla Sofía Gascón, can hardly be seen on the social posts and posters of the Award campaign for “Emilia Pérez”. Instead is Zoë Saldaña increasingly visiblewhich is also listed as the best supporting actress for an Oscar.
The reason for this could be the earlier statements of Islamophobic and racist nature of the actress on X. Karla Sofía Gascón now apologized publicly – she has nevertheless been removed from the advertising campaign as a protagonist.
It is not expected at upcoming events either
It was planned that Karla Sofía Gascón will travel from Spain to Los Angeles to be media present during the post-nomination phase. Now the mimin is no longer expected at the large events of the entertainment industry. From Thursday, February 6, she would have been at least one event or a red carpet for days. In itself, she is also invited to the Oscars as a nominee. If the actress arrives, she would come without the support of her film college: inside.
According to “Variety”, Karla Sofía Gascón was allegedly excluded from any communication by Netflix and the PR company. She would only be taught by news about the middleman of the “United Talent Agency” Jeremy Barbar. In addition, “Netflix” allegedly no longer finances the flights to the award shows or their styling for the events. Karla Sofía Gascón allegedly would have to pay everything himself. It is unknown whether she can handle the expenses for this. But so far she has probably not made the big money with her job. She apparently got around 100,000 euros for her role in “Emilia Pérez”.
The invisible leading actress
Before Karla Sofía Gascón’s anti -Islam and racist posts were rewinded in the media, she was also not traded as a nominated one who has high chances of winning. Because Demi Moore is viewed as a highest likelihood for her representation in “The Substance”. So it is common anyway to focus on the nominations or nominees, in which higher chances of winning are assumed.
However, it is striking that the new “For Your Awards Consideration” advertising, which came out on Monday, February 3, was mainly shown Zoë Saldaña. In addition, their co-stars Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz can be seen. And not the main actress.
