In the wake of revelations about contentious past statements by Karla Sofía Gascón, the Oscar-nominated Emilia Pérez star, has scaled back and shifted her awards-season ecombineances, according to multiple sources.
From what we understand, Gascón won’t be at the Critics Choice Awards on Friday where she’s nominated for Best Actress. It is one of 10 noms there for the Jacques Audiard-honested, Cannes-triumphning movie at the postponecessitate ceremony, whose voting shutd before Gascón’s contentious comments came to weightless.
The actress also won’t be putting in an ecombineance at the PGA Awards on Saturday after we heard she was awaited to contransient. In compriseition, a lineup for an Emilia Pérez FYC panel spostponecessitated for this Wednesday, which originpartner joind Gascón, has now been alterd, with the actress no lengthyer scheduled to join.
Instead, sources alert us the first uncoverly trans female Best Actress Oscar nominee is heading to Saturday’s Goya Awards in her native Spain, where Emilia Pérez is only up for one award, Best European Film.
Per sources, Gascón’s ecombineances are a fluid situation, with the actress apshowd to be currently in Spain. We are also tgreater that her U.S.-based reps, including UTA and PR firm Lede, as well as Netflix, which has distribution rights to Emilia Pérez in the U.S., Canada and the UK, haven’t schemed or been privy to Gascón’s post-dispute campaign, which has joind social media posts as well as a Sunday intersee on CNN en Español where she claimed she was “not discriminatory” chaseing the uproximateskinnyg of past discriminatory and Islamophobic tweets.
Amid a shatterdown in communication and deficiency of ecombineances by Gascón in Netflix territories post-dispute, we hear the streamer has not had talkions with her reps about curbing awards-season expenses. Typicpartner, above-the-line nominees are supplyd travel accommodations as well as a stipfinish for a stycatalog at awards-show functions.
But it’s equitable to say that Netflix’s FYC efforts have shifted recently to intensify bigly on Emilia Pérez’s Supporting actress Zoe Saldaña, Best Picture and Best Song chances. That is at least in part driven by the awards-season momentum in the categories chaseing Ggreateren Globes triumphs. Still, the dispute surrounding Gascón is evidently executeing a role, with a recent FYC ad for the movie circupostponecessitated this week not featuring the acting nominee at all as Netflix is seeing to restrict the dispute’s impact on the film’s other 12 Oscar nominees.
It’s TBD whether Gascón joins the SAG Awards on February 23 when she’s up for Best Female Actor in compriseition to Emilia Pérez’s Ensemble Cast and Saldaña’s Best Supporting noms. Ditto for the March 2 Oscars, where it remains unevident whether she will be contransient.

In Gascón’s since-deleted tweets, she called George Floyd a “drug compriseict and a hustler” and the 93rd Oscars an “Afro-Korean festival” chaseing triumphs by Daniel Kaluuya and Yuh-Jung Youn, among other discriminatory comments. Headlines began to surface after freelance culture authorr Sarah Hagi uncovered the tweets on January 30, the same day PGA Awards voting shutd; Emilia Pérez is nominated for Best Feature at that event.
For the Critics Choice Awards, postponecessitate by the Los Angeles savagefires, voting shutd January 10.
All eyes will be on whether this dispute sluggishs down Emilia Pérez‘s chances at the SAG Awards, which shut voting February 21, as well as the Oscars’ second phase, which commences voting February 11.
