The highly anticipated 2025 Oscars are set to take place on Sunday, but the event has been overshadowed by controversy surrounding best actress nominee Karla Sofia Gascón. Gascón, the first transgender woman to receive a best actress nomination, faced backlash after old social media posts resurfaced in January. Academy CEO Bill Kramer has condemned hate speech and emphasized the importance of respecting all nominees, including Gascón. Despite receiving death threats, Gascón has stood by her nomination, stating that she is not racist and has not committed any crimes. Netflix dropped Gascón from their Oscars campaign, and she was absent from the SAG Awards. Her co-stars and the director of “Emilia Perez” have expressed disappointment and condemnation of Gascón’s past remarks. Despite skipping the Oscars nominees dinner, Gascón is expected to attend the Oscars, where she will face the public fallout from the scandal. The controversy surrounding Gascón has cast a shadow over the Oscars, with her co-stars expressing sadness and disappointment at the situation. The 2025 Oscars will feature Conan O’Brien as host and will air on ABC at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 2nd.
