Racism allegations against the leading actress endanger Oscar chances!

The French filmmaker Jacques Audiad was awarded the César for the best director in Paris on Friday evening. He received this honor for his renowned musical thriller "Emilia Pérez", which is nominated for the Oscar in a total of 13 categories. The work tells the gripping story of a Mexican drug baron who strives for a radical lifestyle as a woman. In Paris, the film cleared a total of seven awards in the evening, including the one for the best film, a clear indication of its international success. The César Awards are considered the French counterpart to the Oscars and has been awarded since 1976, whereby the famous actress Catherine Deneuve appeared as president of the ceremony this year, like stern.de reported.

However, the opportunities of the film with the upcoming Oscars, which will be awarded in Los Angeles on March 2, will cast a dark shadow by controversy around his leading actress Karla Sofia Gascón. Gascón has been faced with racism allegations since the beginning of February after her views of the previous online views have become public. In these statements, among other things, she described Islam as a "stove of infection for humanity" and was derogatory about the anti -racist movement after the death of the African -American citizen George Floyd by police violence. These revelations could significantly reduce the success of the film, which is already criticized for his topics and representations, such as vienna.at reported.

The situation is an interesting turn for Audiad's festival and film festival hopes, and the film world is excited to see how the events around "Emilia Pérez" will develop. The upcoming Oscar series are now being followed even more carefully, not least because of the latest developments around the main actress and the critical reception of the film in public.
