The actress’s old social media posts have threatened to derail the film’s Oscar campaign, but backlash has been building for months for other reasons.

Embattled "Emilia Pérez" star Karla Sofía Gascón is not expected to attend the BAFTAs, where she's nominated for Best Actress.

Unfortunately, this could affect Karla's Emilia Pérez costar and Best Supporting Actress frontrunner, Zoe Saldaña. In the wake of Karla's damage control press tour, Variety changed its official Oscars prediction for the category from Zoe to Ariana Grande, suggesting that Zoe might end up being collateral damage.
