Netflix won’t be focusing on Karla Sofía Gascón as it campaigns for Emilia Pérez ahead of the Academy Awards. According to reports from Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming service is distancing itself from the Spanish actress after her offensive posts about Muslims and George Floyd went viral last week.
Gascón — who is the first out transgender woman to be nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars — was scheduled to come to the United States from Spain to appear at the Critics Choice Awards, Directors Guild of America, and the Producers Guild of America Awards. She is no longer expected to attend any of these events, Variety reports.
