A few days ago, Netflix was in a good position to win the first Oscar best pictures in the history of the company. Emilia Perez Oscar nominated at 13-the most ever for a non-English linguistic movie-and has already shown its strength with the best wins in European film awards and Golden Globes. Unlike the heavy weights in the last Netflix Rome and Dog strengthand Emilia He also received the nomination of SAG for the best group (signal force with actors, the largest branch in the academy), and won the city with a mixture of veterans in Hollywood and new arrivals, which is the original film industry with rudeness Jack Audiad, And its comprehensive messages-of the second time Trump He achieved the era of an aggressive beginning.
The key to the Canny campaign was Tosit Carla Sofia Jaskoun. While the film displays American stars Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez, The previous also has more screen time than anyone else in the movie, Jasconone was EmiliaDiscover borders. She was applause, laughter and tears in a question and answer, and she also presented herself to taste makers and players in power. Just a few weeks ago, she officially became the first Trans actor ever to get an Oscar nomination.
But it is safe to say at this stage that she will not win the award for the best actress. Gascón has faced a widespread violent reaction since Thursday, when its history has faded on social media-which was starkly raised, in the words of Islamic Islamic, racism, and other offensive notes-general knowledge. Since then, the situation has increased by launching a series of general apologies – first to the media, then on Instagram (after deleting her X account, where most offensive posts were discovered), then on the Internet – all of them – from CNN – which she overwhelmed Her allegations that there is a conspiracy against her, and her reluctance to possess it fully and express their previous comments. Netflix has distanced himself from Gascón: Vanity Fair You know that the studio had no participation in Sunday’s CNN interview with Gascon until it was broadcast. Saldana also expressed her rejection of Gascón’s comments without saying the name Costar at the London event on Friday.
Gascón scandal gave all Emilia Perez Campaign in danger. The film has long led a controversial presence online, as transit and Latin viewers are widely criticized its representation of their societies. However, the industry fell on its head EmiliaThe challenging originality and great performance. Audiard and his actor throughout Los Angeles and New York were for several months, and they worshiped theaters and mixing. The film was not a great success on Netflix – unprecedented in the tops of the top ten signs in the United States – and it was afflicted with dozens of poor audiences; It can be credited as a prize competitor instead in a great ground game, which helped Emilia Slowly fever but steadily sweep the city.
If not Obenheimer-Tagot size, this is the standard playing book for modern Oscar, the best pictures. Members of the Academy vote increasingly with their hearts: love Parasiteand CodaAnd Everything everywhere once It was clear about Los Angeles by the time when the final Oscar began to vote; Those feelings were deepened as each of these films found fans, traveling from one event to another, offered to the show. Each of these films has identified the possibilities in its own way-a non-English linguistic film, a small independent released in the summer, a type of obsessed. Emilia He was on his way to continue their traditions.
But now lynchpin has turned from this radioactive strategy. When I covered the award course this season, I heard about Gascón’s performance and carried it as a great reason for the presence of voters behind the movie in the first place. It was the opportunity to vote for the nomination of history making, for the championship of a valuable movie in hidden but clear opposition to the Trump administration, clear. This was something for the industry to feel satisfied with it.
But while Emilia Perez He still has its heroes, no longer the reason for the gathering. Even Netflix seems to run away from the main sale point of the movie. The campaign does not have a clear new angle: a new fyc advertisement, but it erases the participation of Gascón from the movie, which is a more bitter paradox for the actor behind the title character.
EmiliaThe most important bets of Oscar Woz – Actress Support (Saldaña), the original song, and international feature – have been at risk now, since the entire academy’s voices for each category. But they are not out of the table. How you will deal with Saldaña the following month, after his previous campaign as a great supporter of Gascón, still should be seen. whether EmiliaInternational competitor, Brazilian drama I am still hereIt can continue in the past height, it is a greater question mark. How is this for timing: At the end of this week, Critics Choice and the Producers Syndicate will be held. The vote took place before the gascón scandal erupted. The only thing Emilia– Tennating unconventional corridors – was constantly going in this season as a whole. As long as this continues, it cannot be fully calculated.
