Karla Sofía Gascón's resurfaced tweets torpedoed the film's Oscar campaign — it won just 2 Academy Awards out of 13 nominations — but didn't impact the French honors, where 'Emilia Pérez' won best film.

Oscar contender “Emilia Pérez” has been named the best French film of the year at the Césars awards, and under-fire Karla Sofia Gascón made a rare public appearance.

“Emilia Pérez” won Best Film from the French 2025 César Awards, a major win for the Netflix film ahead of the Oscars. Jacques Audiard’s movie had earned 13 Oscar nominations but then fell out of frontrunner status.

Jacques Audiard's musical was the big winner at the 50th César Awards, France's equivalent to the Oscars, but scandal-stricken star Karla Sofía Gascón was snubbed in the best actress category.

The Spanish-language musical from Netflix saw its grand hopes fizzle after derisive social media posts from its star resurfaced.

Karla Sofía Gascón, the actress ensnared in controversy after her racist posts resurfaced, revealed she accidentally got high off an Oscars gift bag. In an Instagram story posted on Tuesday, the Emilia Pérez star said she ate a bag of chips and drank a lemon-flavored soda from the Academy’s goodie bag when she “suddenly” started feeling dizzy.
