How Will It Impact the BAFTAs?

the Recently discovered social media publications Written by the star “Emilia Perez” Carla Sofia Jaskoun in which she attacked, among different things – Islam and George Floyd and more diverse Academy Awards – I was thrown an unexpected key in the award race.

Within hours of historical tweets that are re -modified and translated into English, Gascón apologized, saying it was “very sorry”. Things escalate at the end of the week, when the actress conducted an interview with CNN en Español, booked without Netflix sharing, and she took the situation (again) in the Instagram post.

But by that time, the prizes that started to rewrite their predictions began, and the Netflix team in Spanish from Netflix for the ownership of Mexican drugs undergoing surgery in the sex of the sexes of the previous ones from the distribution of prizes, and it wins Nominations with 13 – It was cleaned of the menus.

I focused almost all attention on how this new scandal affected the Academy Awards, where Netflix hoped that Emilia Perez was the Golden Ticket for her first win in the picture. But to what extent will the noise across the Atlantic, where the film goes to BAFTAS on February 16 and Cesar Awards in France on February 28?

Traditionally, there are many differences surrounding the stars inside Hollywood and have a much lower effect on the outside; What can be considered toxic in the United States is often remotely anywhere.

Kevin Spacey, Woody Allen and Johnny Depp, for example, are still running internationally. Even Roman Polanski had his last film, “Officer and Spy” and “The Palace”, “The Palace”, ” The first international show at the Venice Film Festival. In France, where Bolanski lives, “Officer and Spy” awarded the award for the best director at the Cesar Awards in 2020, causing a sensation. But France has begun to embrace #Metoo in the past two years, and CESAR Awards have developed new guidelines to prevent any talent or cinematic director accused of sexual violence from entering the Cesar race.

In a completely different condition from “”Emilia PerezFrench voters are likely to be more tolerant that Americans are due to the Audiard file as one of the most famous managers in the country. GASCón racist leaflets on social media can be balanced through a busy Audiard record as a progressive outlet in his racist films (“” Nabi “) and the struggle of refugees (” Dheepan “), among other social issues. Although the United Kingdom is definitely in line with the United States than most other countries in terms of sensitivities and sensitivities, there is a feeling, at least among the British, that the Americans have concluded in “drama” more than the form of art, especially when it is when it is when it is It comes to vote.

I think Pafta It tends to look at the normal past – usually judge the films based on merit and are not busy with politics and the campaign of everything.

Another seasoned campaign expert notes, the tweets written by Gascon – while they were truly convicted as hateful – are “more specific to the United States”

Let’s take, for example, her comments about George Floyd, which she described as a “drug addict” in a long thread just days after the police officer was killed. The Black Lives Matter, which was ignited by his death, became a global event, especially in the United Kingdom, but as the prizes strategies suggest, its attack on it “feels much more.”

There is also a feeling that British voters “do not like to be informed of how to vote or what are their own values”, the strategic expert claims. “They don’t want to be told: You are wrong if you vote for this person.”

But a few of them believe that Gascón tweets can sweep under the carpet and forget it. “Even in the UK, I don’t think it can be ignored,” the activist says. “I don’t know how people can ignore it and go,” it’s okay! “

But how can this affect where it is honored by individual Pavta at night itself?

With the final vote currently underway and concludes on February 11, despite its 11 nominations, many award monitors do not look at Emilia Perez as a “lock” in any category.

The film is likely to be very far from the film winning the award for the best movie or director when “Conclave” was cleaned from Edward Berger-whose last movie, “All Head on the Western Frong Broutalist” was cleaned as if it were more convenient options. It is worth noting that the momentum behind Demi Moore’s work in “Article” is likely to be already pushing before Gascón for the best actress.

Zoe Saldana, the star participating in Gascón, is a favorite of the best supportive actress. At the same time, the film itself is expected to receive the movie award, not in the English language.

One of the critics suggests that the repercussions may push a Pafta voter – who often prefer local talents in any case – towards local alternatives. If this is true, this may lead to the strengthening of Velicity Jones or Isabella Russellini as a supportive actress and “KneeCAP” for the foreign language. “I think it’s really difficult to celebrate something that cannot be prejudiced at the present time,” they add. However, diverse It is understood that Netflix still believes that “Emilia Perez” is a strong competitor in several categories.

Of course, many members of the British Academy may have already taken their decisions, with the final opening of the BAFTA opening on January 22. To forget, “but – in the news that the Emilia Perez team – there is” a huge wave in the end – that last weekend last weekend is very important. “

Although “Emilia Pérez” may seem to have lost his foot, anything can happen in the unexpected award race if the explosion proves anything. At least next week, anyway.
