Netflix releases new FYC poster for Emilia Perez. Best Actress nominee, Karla Sofia Gascon, is notably absent


This week, Emilia Pérez best actress Oscar nominee Karla Sofía Gascón was expected to fly in to Los Angeles from her home in Spain for a busy week awards campaigning  (Critics Choice Award, AFI Awards, Directors Guild Awards and the Producers Guild Awards where she was to serve as a presenter, and was to receive Virtuoso Award)

However, given the massive controversy that has engulfed Gascón in recent days regarding commentary that she posted on Twitter — posts about which Gascón has, in recent days, been regularly writing on social media and discussing in interviews, without consultation or coordination with Netflix, which owns Emilia Pérez’s distribution rights in the United States, Canada and the UK — The Hollywood Reporter has learned that she will not be coming to town at all.

Tensions are said to be high between Gascón and Netflix, which has invested millions in the film’s awards push.
And now, at the most inopportune time, the film's chances at the Oscars are on life support thanks to the Gascón revelations. The two parties are now said to be communicating only through Gascón’s agent.

The streamer is not the only party interested in distancing itself from Gascón. Ohers who were to have attended some of the aforementioned events alongside the actress, such as the Santa Barbara Film Festival event, had indicated that they might have to cancel their participation if she did not cancel hers, out of concern that things could get very uncomfortable with her there.

Gascón has already been removed from email-blasts and ad-reads promoting the film for awards. source

I personally wouldn't hire someone to be the star of my movie without going through their social media/having a little background check, hopefully something they'll do in the future, extremely cheap and easy to do.

director didn't even do research on Mexico before making this film so why do you think he would care about someone's social media history?

How can someone be that dumb? Unbelievable... But some people were saying she's trash way before the movie came out so she's getting what she deserves
