A scandal over offensive tweets has made Netflix’s former Oscars frontrunner a toxic proposition, writes . Now, all bets are off – but that might not be such a good thing

Netflix has dropped Karla Sofia Gascon, the star of "Emilia Perez," from its high-profile Oscars campaign and distanced itself from the best actress nominee over her offensive social media posts,

The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the film's embattled best actress Oscar nominee Karla Sofía Gascón will no longer be coming to the U.S. for any of this week's many awards activities.

By Jan. 31, during a Q&A in London, Emilia Pérez co-star and Best Supporting Actress frontrunner Zoe Saldaña said, “I’m still processing everything that has transpired in the last couple of days, and I’m sad. … It makes me really sad because I don’t support [it], and I don’t have any tolerance for any negative rhetoric towards people of any group.”

Jacques Audiard called Gascón's past social media comments "inexcusable" and confirmed he has not been in contact with the Oscar nominee recently.
