Read our privacy policy A Netflix boss has said it is a “bummer” that old social media posts by lead Emilia Perez actress Karla Sofia Gascón are distracting from the impact of the film. And our awards team did an incredible campaign for that movie.” Karla Sofia Gascon, Jacques Audiard, Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez at the Cannes film festival On whether Netflix is re-examining its social media vetting policies for cast and crew who work on Netflix projects, Bajaria acknowledged that while it is being re-evaluated by many in the industry, including Netflix, the logistics of the task seemed immense. It raises a lot of questions about what that should look like.” Emilia Perez racked up several awards at the Cannes Festival last year, including a collective best actress award for stars Gascón, Gomez, Adriana Paz, and Saldaña, and the jury prize for director Jacques Audiard. And so yes, there’s incredibly talented people who made that movie that, by the way, resonated with a lot of people this year.” Earlier this month, a report in The Hollywood Reporter stated that Netflix had removed Gascón from promotional emails and plans to edit the film’s posters to give Saldana more prominence.
