No Oscar for a man competing in the women Best Actress category.<\/h3>\n
Did Hollywood just now discover the internet? It sure seems like it. The man who was nominated in the Best Actress<\/em> category\u2014because reality is optional these days\u2014just lost before he even had a chance to win. The reason? Mean tweets.<\/p>\n The first openly transgender Oscar nominee for Best Actress, Karla Sof\u00eda Gasc\u00f3n, spoke out after being criticized for past controversial social media posts.<\/em><\/p>\n The Academy Award contender, who starred in \u201cEmilia P\u00e9rez,\u201d has been in hot water the past week after numerous old tweets emerged criticizing a variety of groups<\/em>. \u2013 New York Post<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Hollywood will believe anything\u2014except reality. They bent over backward to nominate a man in the Best Actress<\/em> category, but suddenly, old tweets are where they draw the line? The same industry that preaches \u201cfollow the science\u201d now tells us chromosomes don\u2019t matter, but a few offensive posts from years ago? That\u2019s unforgivable.<\/p>\n This Karla Sofia Gascon is a man, chromosomes and all. I\u2019ll call him by his birth name, Carlos. That\u2019s a man.<\/p>\n \u201cKarla Sofia\u201d Gasc\u00f3n is a married man and a father, he decided to go public with his fetish\u2026and now MSM and the Hollywood deplorables are celebrating him for it\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/eK6mj2ZiFw<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jonny Bell (@Jonnywsbell) January 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n If Hollywood had even a shred of consistency, they\u2019d either stop pretending a man in heels is a woman or admit they only care about scandals when it\u2019s convenient. But, of course, expecting logic from this crowd is like expecting them to age naturally\u2014never gonna happen.<\/p>\n Seriously, though, what even is<\/em> Emilia Perez<\/em>? Never heard of it. Then again, I\u2019ve been avoiding most new releases since Hollywood decided every movie needs a mandatory dose of ideological nonsense.<\/p>\n Really? Are people actually watching this nonsense on purpose<\/em>? And Hollywood isn\u2019t just tolerating it\u2014they\u2019re showering it with awards like it\u2019s some kind of cinematic masterpiece? If this is what counts as prestige now, we might as well start handing out Oscars at drag brunches. Heaven help us.<\/p>\n Well, well\u2014looks like Hollywood\u2019s finally facing the music for nominating a man in the female category for Best Actress. Turns out, they\u2019ve \u201csuddenly\u201d discovered a treasure trove of old X posts where Carlos was busy disparaging a certain religion and dropping hot takes on their newly-martyrized King, George Floyd. Who knew?<\/p>\n The genre-bending musical crime drama \u201cEmilia Perez\u201d looked like the streaming service\u2019s strongest shot yet at best picture after winning the jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival and garnering a total of 13 Academy Award nominations.<\/em><\/p>\n But prospects for the movie dimmed after a journalist found and translated a series of Spanish-language posts, dating from 2016 through 2020. In them, the film\u2019s Spanish star, Karla Sofia Gascon, described Islam as a \u201chotbed of infection for humanity\u201d and George Floyd as a \u201cdrug addict swindler.\u201d Social media amplified the story to global proportions<\/em>. \u2013 Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n What?! Oh my, that\u2019s pretty inflammatory for the Hollywood crowd. Carlos has gone on an apology tour<\/a>, but it\u2019s not making any difference. He says he will still attend the awards ceremony this Sunday, March 2, 2025.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/carolremarks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/quote-mark.png\")
