Overview
Karla Sofía Gascón, nominated for an Academy Award for her role in 'Emilia Pérez,' has issued an apology following the resurfacing of derogatory tweets about George Floyd, Islam, and immigrants. Her film, which combines musical and trans narratives, has received 13 Oscar nominations, making it a front-runner but also drawing criticism for its portrayal of Mexican culture.
