Until a couple of weeks ago, Netflix’s Emilia Perez – a Spanish-language French musical film focusing on a transgender crime boss in modern Mexico – was a resounding success story. The film’s director, Jacques Audiard, meanwhile condemned Gascón in pretty robust terms, stating: “I just don’t understand why she’s continuing to harm us.” Leaving aside the considerable and discomfiting irony of a film that sold itself as a landmark in trans representation quite literally erasing its trans star from the narrative, I think it’s clear that the protracted scandal has thrown the Oscar race wide open. The Emilia Perez debacle will have altered the intentions of many Oscar voters – and not only those who planned on voting for Audiard’s film. Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldana in ‘Emilia Perez’ It’s surprising, perhaps, just how long and convoluted the furore around Gascón has been, though her responses have undoubtedly prolonged matters.
