Since his arrival at Netflix in December, the French movie in Spanish Emilia Perez It was a nesting doll from the differences. The music critic, directed by Jacques Odiad, was exposed to social media for filming a transit identity. The film was also criticized for filming “Eurocentric” of Mexico – even the inspiration of a satirical simulation film made by Mexican movie makers, called Johan Sacripo – And Audiad himself has rejected abusive comments, if not About Mexico and Spanish language. Meanwhile, earlier this week, the main actress of Oscar, Carla Sofia Jaskoun, was the most prominent in the war with “Brazilian Twitter” in favor of The comments I made About her best actress in Fernanda Torres social media.
Despite all this, Emilia Perez He gets 13 Academy Award nominations, and it is expected that at least one for Zoe Saldaña in the category of Best Support Actress. However, Oscar’s hopes of GASCón are likely to be carried out, after a series of offensive tweets that have returned to appear in what may be one of the most surprising scandals in the history of Oscars.
On Wednesday, after Gascón was already in news of her comments about Torres, X users began trading Tweet years ago from the Spanish actress using a humiliating language aimed at marginalized societies. Since 2021, tweets include disturbing notes about George Floyd, Islam, and even the non -whiten winners at the Oscars for the year 2021. Other tweets find them vulnerable to gay and other hateful language.
Academy Awards are not familiar with controversy. However, installation issues are eroded Emilia Perez Oscar campaign is somewhat unusual – and even made the controversy surrounding the best image of 2019 Green Book It looks strange in comparison. Likewise, it is a ridiculous but very familiar path for a movie that has been strengthened by the Hollywood Foundation for its variety and “progressive” topics.
What did Tweet Gascon say?
Thursday, journalist Sarah Haji published a topic with screenshots Of more than ten tweets from Gascón (in its Spanish hometown), Islam and migrants are from the Arab countries. In one of a tweet was published on July 2, 2016, translated by the Vox Izzie Ramirez editor, she says: “Islam has become an infection of humanity that must be treated urgently.” In another tweet from September 2, 2020, Gascón, from Spain, published a picture of a Muslim family, including a woman wearing ponds, in a restaurant, mocking the role of women in Islam. In a tweet, she was sarcastically criticized by wearing Burkas and what she considers the lack of respect for women in Islam, crowned with a phrase translating into “deepest increasing humanity.”
In other jobs, it indicates an increase in the number of Muslims in Spain, concerning that schools will start teaching Arabic instead of the English language. Islam blames many terrorist attacks. There are also multiple tweets as they refer to Muslims or people with dark skin.
Then users began to circulate a stunning thread that was now deleted published on June 8, 2020, about Floyd, whose death was ignited by the protest police officer all over the world. in The first jobOne user bearing the name Gascón says, “Let me see if you understand, a man tried to make a fake bill after taking the Meth family and friends, then Guy with the draft law turns into a heroic marytr.” statement In the thread, the user refers to Floyd as a “drug addict and a owner.”
X account statement also about other inappropriate comments, such as a joke About China and Covid-19, the informal use of hateful language. I read a post on the 2021 Academy Awards celebrations, “it seems that” more and more #OSCARS seems to be an independent and protest films. I did not know if I was watching an African festival or a demonstration of black life or 8 meters [feminist strike]”In reference to the Women’s Day March, which occurs on March 8. Users also found a Alien It refers to the photos of the photographer of Milli Cyrus, who wanders with a woman as “lesbian distortion”. This post may be seen as especially confusing, because Gascón is the same as a passing woman married to another woman.
The GASCón X account has been deleted since then, although its comments screenshots are still many online. On Friday, it also gave TERSE apology diverse: “I want to acknowledge the conversation about my previous social media posts that caused harm. As a person in a marginalized society, I know this suffering is very good, and I am very sorry for those who caused pain. Throughout my life, I fought for a better world. I think The light will always triumph over the dark.
It had been sent by more challenging Exclusive statement To The Hollywood Reporter, explain the reason for deleting her account. In this statement, the reverse reaction was described as a “campaign of hatred and wrong information”, while indicating that the opinions I mentioned have changed:
“As part of this society, I have expressed a dispute or agreement with all the relevant issues that I have had an opinion, often wrong, which has changed throughout my own experience. I have always used my social media, reflections or notes, to create stories Or later characters, and not as something that would be examined to the last 140 characters, because sometimes I am not aware of her existence. He wrote something negative. “
Oscars are usually messy, but not this messy
For decades, the Oscar Awards campaign was a great phenomenon – entertaining – in the award season. Outside the exotic in Gascón, this year alone witnessed many other differences that threaten the chances of some hope in Oscar. Last week, an Oscar candidate editor 10 times Brutal, Dávid jancsó revealed that Amnesty International has used to master Adrien Brody Broody In a short part of the movie. This has led to questions about whether Brody performance should be re -evaluated, which Golden Globe has already earned.
Meanwhile, in the midst of the controversy of Gascón, social media users found an article written by its competitor Torres who wrote Hear During the trial of her defamation of 2023 against her ex -husband Johnny Depp, in addition to a video from Torres that appears in Black front In a comic drawing on a Brazilian television program, I apologized earlier this week.
At other times, these amazing campaigns of aggressive public relations have often emerged from Bette Davis A famous writing campaign To supposed “ExaggerationOne of the best ads of Diana Ross’s campaign A lady sings Blues to Melissa Liu Call to “look at …” self-funded-although it eventually continued to receive Oscar. This type of enthusiastic campaign was recorded by the former movie producer Harvey Winstein. Before the GASCón scandal, the cloak was the best candidate for the most controversial actress belonging to Andrea Retoro, who caused a huge Kurfov when she received a sudden signal in 2023 for the small Sandans movie To LeslieBecause of the sudden ratification by celebrities and doubtful e -mail to voters. In the last minute, the active campaign eventually did not contradict the academy’s pressure on the academy, but it has placed a mark on the actress who presented the awards.
In general, though, it is very rare for the chances of the Academy Awards to be contaminated if they are not completely destroyed due to hate speech – the latest example Lars von Trier’s comments hostile to Samia During a press conference for his 2011 movie sadness. However, Gascón controversy represents a more complex and income box, since Gascón is the first acting filter. Although her pioneering nomination on paper, her hateful comments on social media outperform any perception that her nomination is a victory for progress.
Her controversial comments also provide a legitimate puzzle of the ceremony. People are already wondering how it will be included in the best actress show. The Academy recently announced that it would be repeated “FAB 5” coordination, The former representative winners present a heartfelt introduction to each of the candidates. There is always the possibility of more vocal and even boycott from the groups that targeted them.
In general, Gascón’s comments only continued to shed light on the shallowness Emilia Perez As a “progressive” project and selection of the academy. After a scandal, people explicitly asked why a European woman threw a Mexican figure, and recycled comments about Audiard, who announces his ignorance of Mexico. They also affected any remaining goodwill that the movie would have gone, including a A strong statement Gascón was made in Golden Globes earlier in January, when the film won the Best Image Award – Music or Comedy.
She said, “The light always wins the dark.” “You can put us in prison, you can overcome us, but you can never take away our soul, resistance, or identity. I want to tell you, raise your voice and say that I won, I am from me, and not who you want [me to be]”Who knew that, after a few weeks, will be recycled in order to apologize?
