I just came across a shocking article on the internet!
Could this really be true? 😮
Let's dive right in!
Hollywood has once again been caught in a major controversy. Recently, news broke that Netflix has decided to end its support for transgender actress Carla Sofia Gascón’s (Carla Sofia Gascón) Oscar campaign. 🏆
This decision was triggered by the resurfacing of Gascón’s past social media posts, which contained Islamophobic, racist, and anti-LGBTQ+ remarks. In particular, it was revealed that she mocked actress Youn Yuh-jung’s 2021 Academy Award win by calling it a “Korea Festival,” fueling even greater backlash.
🎭 Who is Carla Sofia Gascón?
Carla Sofia Gascón is a transgender actress from Spain who gained attention for starring in Netflix’s 'Emilia Pérez', directed by French filmmaker Jacques Audiard. With this role, she became the first transgender actress to be nominated for Best Actress at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025.
However, as her past comments came to light, her relationship with Netflix rapidly deteriorated during the Oscar campaign process. 🎥
🔥 Netflix Cuts Ties with Gascón!
💡 According to Variety, Netflix has ceased its support for Gascón’s Oscar campaign.
📌 Netflix’s Actions ✔️ No direct communication with Gascón – Contact will now only go through her agency representatives
✔️ Revoked financial support for awards ceremonies and film festivals – No more funding for her Oscar campaign
✔️ Excluded from major events – No longer attending the Critics’ Choice Awards, Directors Guild of America Awards, Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and other major events 🚫
This means that if Gascón wishes to attend these ceremonies, she must cover her travel, accommodation, and transport costs herself. 🎟️✈️ Essentially, she has been completely cut off from Netflix’s support, which could significantly damage her standing in the industry.
I wonder how much her travel, accommodation, and transportation costs will add up to. 😥
Gascón, who has a history of making controversial statements, even mocked Youn Yuh-jung’s Best Supporting Actress win at the 2021 Academy Awards, saying, “The Oscars are turning into an Afro-Korean festival.” 😮
Netflix’s decision is more than just distancing itself; it’s a clear stance. Oscar campaigns are a crucial part of Hollywood’s award season, and the fact that one of the most powerful distributors has officially withdrawn its support carries significant weight in the film industry.
In recent years, Netflix has strongly promoted diversity and inclusivity, actively supporting the LGBTQ+ community. This makes their decision even more notable. While Gascón’s identity as a transgender actress may have previously aligned with Netflix’s values, her past remarks were deemed beyond acceptable, leading Netflix to cut ties with her.
Personally, I find Netflix’s decision highly unusual but justified.
It wasn’t just a single slip-up—she repeatedly made hateful remarks, making it difficult for a company like Netflix to continue backing her. 😥
Ultimately, this serves as yet another reminder that an individual’s actions can greatly impact their career and opportunities.
💬 Gascón’s Response?
As the controversy escalated, Gascón told CNN that she sincerely apologizes to anyone who was offended. However, she also stated that she has no intention of withdrawing from the Oscar race and denied being racist. 🤷♀️
She argued that her past comments had been taken out of context and misrepresented, claiming that she never intended to target or discriminate against any particular group. However, her explanation has done little to quell the growing backlash.
Additionally, Gascón stated, “I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds and have always supported racial and gender diversity.” Yet, many critics have pointed out the contradiction between this statement and her history of frequently making derogatory remarks about others.
Despite her claims, Gascón has been caught making similar offensive comments multiple times in the past. While she may claim to be misunderstood, this controversy is likely to continue haunting her. 🤔🤔🤔
Within the film industry, opinions remain divided on whether her apology is sincere. Some believe that her apology lacks authenticity and is merely an attempt to control the damage, while others argue that since she has publicly apologized, she should be given another chance.
🚀 What’s Next for Gascón?
To summarize, Gascón’s history of controversial remarks—including her criticism of Youn Yuh-jung—has led to the effective cancellation of her Oscar campaign. As a result, her chances of winning an Academy Award have significantly declined. Not only has Netflix distanced itself, but support for her within Hollywood is also dwindling.
I’m curious about how Hollywood insiders are reacting. How many people still support her, and how many are against her?
The final decision now rests with the Academy Awards’ voting members. Will she overcome all these controversies and still take home the Best Actress award?
