Looking forward to the conservatives suddenly taking up the cause of opposing trans actresses’ participation in the “best actress” category at the Oscars.
She shouldn't get it because the movie is a racist, transphobic dumpster fire and even used AI to correct her voice. However, she'll probably win over better actresses because The Academy wants to make a statement.
Agreed, girl was singing and speaking in her Castilian accent throughout the whole movie. She worked in Mexico before, she should’ve worked on that accent. It’s just another colonizer benefitting from a serious problem in Mexico.
Demi's performance is better than Karla's. (In my heart, the award should go to Fernanda, but I admit it's hard for me to be impartial in this case) Anyways, Emilia Pérez managed to insult two communities at once and it's just awful as a movie.
Believe it or not, there are people out there who have gone from penis to vagina. And more people will follow. Just get used to it, instead of judging it.
Yeah, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Good for them.
The problem is that the movie is awful and Karla is being nominated as Best Actress for a role where her voice was corrected with AI because she can’t sing.
Btw, only Americans think this film is progressive, sorry to inform.
That's fine. I'm not advocating for the movie or any accolades. I'm just reveling in the psychological damage any props this actress might receive might do to the bigoted privileged class.
Private organizations get to do what they like. If the Academy wants to nominate a man for best actress, they are allowed. It's the goal of trans activists to replace women with men and to usurp women's single-sex spaces.
For a transphobic and racist garbage movie made by a Frenchman who couldn’t even be bothered to hire Mexican actors or learn about Mexican culture. Plenty of other movies tackled Trans issues waaaaaaaay more effectively and are actually good and genuine. I Saw The Glow and Conclave being two of them

Maybe next time it won’t happen alongside the truly bewildering snub of a superior film written and directed by an actual trans person.
But also TV Glow is a trans story. Emilia Perez is not. Karla Gascon’s performance is the only thing Emilia Perez has going for it.
